Company Town

Winter’s Bone
Lawrence stars in the film Winter’s Bone as Ree, a girl trying to hunt down her father and keep her family together. The role was very important to Lawrence:
I’d have walked on hot coals to get the part. I thought it was the best female role I’d read – ever. I was so impressed by Ree’s tenacity and that she didn’t take no for an answer. For the audition, I had to fly on the redeye to New York and be as ugly as possible. I didn’t wash my hair for a week, I had no makeup on. I looked beat up in there. I think I had icicles hanging from my eyebrows.
Oscar nomination
0 CommentsLawrence is nominated for Best Actress at the 83rd Academy Awards for portraying Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone.
I didn’t really feel anything at first and then when I was looking at the TV and I heard my name and saw my face on the television screen, I just kind of snapped. All my friends and family started jumping up around me and started screaming so I followed suit and started screaming.
Teen Vogue cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the May 2011 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. She talks about getting the role of Katniss, filming X-men First Class, and being a good girl.
Sometimes I get anxiety about not staying up late enough. I’m not the one in the corner, but if anyone was like, ‘I want to go home and watch The Big Lebowski,’ I’d be right there with my hand up.
Elle Magazine interview
Lawrence gives interview to Elle about her role as Mystique and her exercise routine for the role.
I knew that if I was going to be naked in front of the world, I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy. I’m so sick of people thinking that’s what we’re supposed to look like.
Flare cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the June 2011 issue of Flare magazine. She talks about being a wild child, her athletic build, and Oscar parties.
I went to the Vanity Fair [Oscar] party for a cool 15 minutes. And then I took off. I’m like a little old lady. I’m always tired around midnight! I mean, it was cool to see Elton John, and I met Billy Crystal, which was amazing, but yeah, I’m mostly just kind of uncomfortable.
Parade cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of a March 2012 issue of Parade magazine. She talks about why she thinks people relate to The Hunger Games books and being on the brink of stardom.
I’ve never played a part this famous. It’s insane to get recognized from a movie that hasn’t been released yet. That’s just bizarre. And scary.
The Hunger Games
Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen, in the futuristic, dystopian film, The Hunger Games. In order to save her sister’s life, Lawrence’s character volunteers to participate in the deadly televised, Hunger Games.
Glamour cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Glamour magazine. She talks about her life being a famous actress.
In some ways, it’s a hard life, but it’s a great professional life. I’m doing what I love, and then I get months and months of rest. I have a lot of money for a 21-year-old. I can’t stand it when actors complain.
Glamour UK cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Glamour UK magazine. She talks about British men, kissing co-stars, and body confidence.
British men have these wonderful manners, and everything they say is funnier, just because of accent.
Seventeen cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about her Hunger Games co-stars and whether she is team Peeta or team Gale.
I think I was Gale until he started getting a little too trigger-happy . . . or maybe first Peeta and then Gale or Gale, then Peeta? I went back and forth. I flip-flopped.
Interview Germany cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the April 2012 issue of Interview Germany magazine. She talks about pop culture personalities, what she wants to do with her first real check, and her fear of ghosts.
I’m scared of ghosts. Just yesterday when I moved into a new room at the hotel, I was deeply convinced, that I shouldn’t wash my face, because if I would look into the mirror, I would actually see a ghost.
W cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the October 2012 issue of W magazine. She talks about trying to keep her Hunger Games role a secret, dancing before Silver Linings Playbook, and life in Hollywood.
Sadly, I cannot live in Los Angeles anymore. I don’t understand how actors can do it. You have no life here. You are followed everywhere. It’s not like that anywhere else in the world. I don’t want to stay in L.A. and start thinking that’s reality— because it’s very far from normal. But I still love movies. I’m just going to love being in them from Kentucky, or Prague, or somewhere else.
British Vogue cover

Elle cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the December 2012 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her boyfriend, not starving herself for a role, and not living extravagantly.
Ten million dollars and I’m still living in my parents’ condo…I’ve always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself.

I’m so honored and grateful for this nomination and to be in the company of such talented actresses.
Backstage cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the February 2013 issue of Backstage magazine. She talks about meeting Lena Dunham, experiencing award season with a cast, and landing roles after auditions.
Being offered a part is very nice, but there’s something about feeling like you really went in there and earned it. Then in times of doubt, you know they saw something in you and hired you for a reason. Because I have many moments of doubt, and that’s always been very helpful.
Vanity Fair cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the February 2013 issue of Vanity Fair magazine. She talks about playing Katniss, walking the red carpet, auditioning for her first role.
I read the script, and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this. This is the first time I’ve ever understood anything. I was 14. And my brothers were star athletes. And one of them was a straight-A student. I always felt like I sucked at everything, that I could never find the thing that I liked. I auditioned and I probably sucked, but I had decided 100 percent that this is what I wanted to do.
