It's easy to claim that Jennifer Lawrence's fame and fortune are a result of her amazing beauty. But you would be underestimating this Indian Hills, Kentucky native's ability to impress both off-screen and on-screen. After a talent scout spotted 14-year-old Lawrence while she was in New York City, she landed a handful of movie roles before starring as Mystique in 2011's "X-Men: First Class".
Lawrence's fame continued to grow when she starred as the leading character Katniss Everdeen in the popular "Hunger Games" film series from 2012-2015, based on the trilogy of dystopian novels written by American writer Suzanne Collins. This role gave Lawrence the title of highest-grossing action heroine of all time. In total, her films have grossed over $5-billion in worldwide box office sales. But don't let this gorgeous headshot fool you: Lawrence is a commercially successful actress that also has both the intelligence and the acting talent to go along with her world-famous good-looks.
