'Hunger Games': Before They Were Stars


<p><strong>Then:</strong> Before Lawrence launched her acting career — and secured a side-gig as The World's Best Friend — she modeled, as many up-and-coming performers do. Lawrence earned her SAG card when she was 14, and then went on to appear on a 2006 episode of <em>Monk</em> and play a recurring role on the <em>The Bill Engvall Show</em> from 2007 to 2009.</p> <p><strong>Now:</strong> Nailing the iconic role of Katniss Everdeen and Tiffany Maxwell in <em>Silver Linings Playbook</em>, she's firmly secured her status as an Oscar-winning actress who deftly navigates the line between big-budget and art films. And in addition to earning an honorary spot in, well, everyone's squad, she's Amy Schumer's actual BFF, which we will never not be jealous about.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
