The Accidental Lion Queen

Jennifer Lawrence became the highest-paid actress in the world at age 22 without ever seeming to try — which is of course the ultimate Leo trick. Her Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games gave a generation its female warrior archetype. Her Oscar win for Silver Linings Playbook at 22 made her the second-youngest Best Actress winner ever.

Leo Legacy

  • The Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen — one of cinema’s great female action heroes
  • Silver Linings Playbook: Oscar at 22 — youngest Best Actress winner since Marlee Matlin
  • American Hustle: SAG Award — proving prestige ensemble range
  • No Filter persona: Her refreshing honesty made her the most relatable superstar of her generation

Lawrence’s Leo secret: the less she seems to care about fame, the more fame pursues her.

“I am a big believer in accepting yourself and not really worrying about it.”
