Jennifer Lawrence is the reigning queen of lots of things:
Hollywood, the awkward award-ceremony-stumble, and hundreds of
priceless Buzzfeed pages - to name a few. She announced herself to
the world at a young age in The Burning Plain and Winter's Bone,
gripping dramas set in America's deprived heartland. Ironic, then,
that such a gifted character actress become a household name
through two of the biggest fantasy roles in the business: the
deadly shapeshifting assassin Mystique from Marvel's X-Men series
and the gutsy, warlike heroine of Suzanne Collin's bestselling
Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss Everdeen - the Girl on Fire. As
Katniss and Mystique, she owns the screen, oozing grace, attitude
and menace, re-defining the roles of women in action films as more
than ragdolls to be saved by muscle-bound men; this girl doesn't
need saving by anyone. But Jennifer couldn't be more different
off-screen. Always ready with a smile or a quip about embarrassing
everyday struggles, she is loved by millions for being a genuinely
relatable personality in an industry of preening posers. And make
no mistake: she has had every reason to lose her sunny
disposition.She struggled early on in her career with a hurtful
'fat actress' label in spite of her healthy body type, and suffered
public heartbreak with the likes of Coldplay's Chris Martin. In
2014, she was to suffer the ultimate indignity of having private
photos leaked onto the internet for all to see. A lesser girl might
have become spiteful, but Jennifer has always emerged with her head
held high. This is the first biography of an Academy Award winner,
a star of our screens for years to come and a role model for girls
and young women everywhere. In every sense, this really is the
story of a Girl on Fire.
