Anna Kendrick
Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, Twilight
The Sharp-Tongued Leo
Anna Kendrick’s career has been built on a weapon no acting school teaches: wit. Her Oscar-nominated performance in Up in the Air at 24 announced a sharp intelligence. Her Beca in Pitch Perfect turned a capella singing into a franchise. And her social media presence pioneered a new kind of celebrity — hilariously self-deprecating while being entirely in control.
Leo Legacy
- Up in the Air: Oscar nomination at 24 opposite George Clooney
- Pitch Perfect franchise: Beca Mitchell across three films and a cultural phenomenon
- Broadway: High Society on Broadway at age 12 — a child prodigy
- Twitter: Among the funniest celebrity social media presences of her generation
Kendrick’s Leo roar comes in the form of perfect comic timing.
“I have this recurring fantasy that one morning I’ll wake up and be brilliant.”
