Move over Jennifer Aniston and make room for the new blonde bombshell that’s taking Hollywood by storm. With her easy going attitude, carefree personality and sparkling smile it’s no wonder that she’s got the entire media fixated on her every move. Being a celebrity is no easy feat but Jennifer Lawrence makes it seem so effortless, almost as if she was born to be on a red carpet.
Many people will know her as the Girl on Fire a.ka. Katniss Everdeen, or maybe as Mystique the blue skinned, yellow eyed villain in X-Men, or the recently widowed Tiffany Maxwell in The Silver Linings Playbook, or maybe you know her from her breakthrough role as Ree Dolly in Winter Bone. Because not only is Jennifer Lawrence incredibly beautiful she is also extremely talented, a quick at her filmography will prove this. An actresses’ or actor’s talent is not measured by the amount of awards they have, if this however was the standard at which we judge someone’s stardom then Jennifer Lawrence would without a doubt would win the title of best female actress of the century by a landslide. At the young age of 24 Lawrence has been nominated for 103 awards in total, and out of these nominations she has won 99 of them. Whilst actresses like Jennifer Aniston have only been nominated for 88 awards and won 28 of them, despite the fact Aniston has been in the industry twice as long as Jennifer Lawrence has. Of course many would argue that Lawrence can’t compare to the brilliance of actresses like Meryl Streep or Julia Roberts, and although no-one can deny the star quality that both actresses hold I believe when given time Lawrence can amount if not surpass their brilliance.
Jennifer Lawrence is the modern Hepburn. A brave statement that I’m sure many would disagree with. Audrey Hepburn everyone would agree revolutionised film and fashion, which is probably why she holds the title of being the third greatest screen legend of all time by the American Film Institute. I am in no position to dispute this, even if I were in a position to do so I wouldn’t because no-one with a sane mind can deny the star quality that Hepburn had. However it is with the standard that Hepburn has set, that I say my previous statement. In an industry so saturated with talent and star quality it is hard to shine brighter than the rest, Lawrence however accomplishes this task with great ease. In the world of Hollywood Jennifer Lawrence would be the sun, a dazzling ball of talent, which actresses like Jennifer Aniston circle around.
Many people revere celebrities as some kind of celestial beings, forgetting the fact that just like everyone else on planet earth they are also human. Jennifer Lawrence however is the exception to that rule, because along with her beauty and looks, she is also witty, kind and humble. In my opinion Jennifer Lawrence is more perfect than Aphrodite, which leads me to the conclusion that she is not human but actually a goddess among us.
Some very convincing writing, with research embedded into the persuasion. Is Aniston the right comparison? Consider your audience carefully to judge the adaptation of the SM's techniques. A very promising piece of writing.
