JLaw has proved she is among the best and most talented actresses in Hollywood by bringing many characters to life and winning n number of accolades. However, it was not an easy journey for her as she gave her everything to her career.

But, JLaw was not ready to give up that easily and went the extra mile for it.
Once, in an interview with The Guardian, the Red Sparrow star revealed that she thought the role in Winter’s Bone was the best female role she had ever read which is why she did not want to give up. Jennifer Lawrence said, “I thought it was the best female role I’d read – ever. I was so impressed by Ree’s tenacity and that she didn’t take no for an answer.”
The Hunger Games star further disclosed how she chose to be unhygienic to prove she was a fit for the movie. She said, “For the audition, I had to fly on the redeye to New York and be as ugly as possible. I didn’t wash my hair for a week, I had no makeup on. I looked beat up in there. I think I had icicles hanging from my eyebrows.”
Her fantastic performance in the movie brought Jennifer Lawrence her first Oscar nomination.
