Jennifer Lawrence always knew she'd be famous. She grew up in Louisville, Kentucky playing field hockey and softball in addition to modeling on the side. After a visit to New York with her mom, a talent agent sees her during a photo shoot, and J-Law's acting career gets kicked into high gear. First came roles on Monk and Medium, then a sitcom. Jennifer then branches out into movies with roles in some indie dramas. At 20, she lands her first Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, wins the award two years later for Silver Linings Playbook and is the star of one of the biggest franchises of all time - The Hunger Games. Her modeling skills came in handy as she starts rocking the red carpet in designer gowns by Oscar de la Renta , Calvin Klein and her favorite, Christian Dior. She went from Kentucky teen to Oscar-winning starlet in by the time most actresses are just getting started. Jennifer Lawrence is sassy, straight-forward and oh-so stylish.
