Early Life
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence was born on August 15, 1990, in a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. She has two older brothers, Blaine and Ben, and her parents, Karen
and Gary, owned a farm just outside the city.
Lawrence was an athletic child, involved in cheerleading, field hockey and softball, and thought she might be a doctor when she grew up. She did some modeling
and community theater, but never dreamed that she’d become an actress.
Start of Acting Career
Lawrence’s big break came when she was discovered at 14 while on spring break in New York with her family. A stranger asked to take her picture and took her
mother’s phone number, then called the next day to ask her to do a screen test. Things happened quickly after that: Lawrence stayed in New York City for the
summer, acting in commercials for MTV and filming the 2007 thriller Devil You Know with Lena Olin. (The film was shelved due to lack of distribution and was
eventually released in 2013.) Soon after, Lawrence and her family moved to Los Angeles, where she had small roles on the seriesMedium, Monk and Cold Case,
before landing a part on the TBS series The Bill Engvall Show. While working on the series, she also appeared in feature films including The Poker House and The
Burning Plain alongside Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger.
After The Bill Engvall Show was canceled, Lawrence went on to appear in the critically acclaimed Winter’s Bone in 2010, which earned her nominations for an
Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Opportunities continued to pour in, and in 2011 Lawrence appeared in The Beaver with Mel
Gibson, Jodie Foster and Anton Yelchin. She also took on the role of Mystique in X-Men: First Class.
In 2012, Lawrence became a box-office sensation as Katniss Everdeen, the lead in The Hunger Games, the film adaptation of the bestselling novel bySuzanne
Collins. Set in a post-apocalyptic state, Lawrence's character must participate in an event in which 24 teens fight to the death as televised entertainment. The
film broke box-office records on opening weekend, and Lawrence reprised her role in 2013's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as well as the two-part Mockingjay
(2014 and 2015). As of late 2015, the franchise has earned more than $2.8 billion dollars at the global box office.
'Silver Linings' Oscar
Other 2012 releases for Lawrence included the thriller House at the End of the Street, co-starring Elisabeth Shue, and two dramas with Bradley Cooper:The Falling
and Silver Linings Playbook, which earned an array of award nominations and a Golden Globe win (best actress in a comedy or musical) for Lawrence. She took
home the Academy Award for best actress in February 2013. Lawrence seemed overcome with emotion as she accepted the honor.
Lawrence continued to work with Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell on 2013's American Hustle, playing the emotionally complex wife of a con
artist (Christian Bale). The film co-starred Amy Adams and Cooper. Lawrence received her third Oscar nod for the part, and won her second Globe. In 2014 she
co-starred again with Cooper in the little seen drama Serena before once again captivating moviegoers as the mutant Mystique in the summer epic X-Men: Days
of Future Past.
Lawrence, Cooper and Russell later signed on to bring the story of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano to the big screen, with Lawrence taking on the title role.
Joy had a Christmas Day 2015 U.S. release, and Lawrence soon won her third Golden Globe for her performance. Days later she received another Oscar nod.
At 25, she became the youngest performer in history to have earned four Academy Award nominations.
The Wage Gap Essay
In October 2015 Lawrence wrote an essay, which was featured in Lena Dunham's feminist newsletter Lenny, entitled "Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co‑Stars?"
Discovering she was paid less than her American Hustle male co-stars via the Sony hacking scandal, Lawrence ultimately blamed herself for not negotiating for
more pay.
"When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with d*cks, I didn’t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself.
I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need," she
explains.
However, Lawrence admitted she didn't fight for a better salary because she was afraid of how she'd be perceived. "I would be lying if I didn’t say there was an
element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn’t want to seem 'difficult' or 'spoiled,' " she confessed. "
This is an element of my personality that I’ve been working against for years, and based on the statistics, I don’t think I’m the only woman with this issue.
Are we socially conditioned to behave this way? ... Could there still be a lingering habit of trying to express our opinions in a certain way that doesn’t 'offend'
or 'scare' men?"
In her own fiery way, Lawrence concluded she would no longer tolerate inequitable pay for fear of being less liked. Her essay caused a great deal of buzz in the
media about ongoing gender wage gap issues.Personal Life
Lawrence graduated from high school two years early with a 3.9 GPA, part of the deal her parents made with her to allow her to pursue acting. She now lives in
Santa Monica with her dog and plans to pursue directing.She dated her X-Men co-star, Nicholas Hoult, from 2011 to 2013. A year later, she was involved in an on
-and-off again relationship with Coldplay's Chris Martin, which reportedly ended in the summer of 2015
