Where is Jennifer Lawrence from?
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence was born in Indian Hills, Kentucky, on August 15, 1990, to Gary, a construction company owner, and Karen, a summer camp manager. Ben and Blaine are her two older brothers. She was not allowed to play with other preschool girls because her mother thought she was "too rough" with them. Her mother had raised her to be "tough" like her brothers. Lawrence attended Louisville's Kammerer Middle School for her education.
Due to her hyperactivity and social anxiety, she did not enjoy her childhood and felt out of place among her peers. She has claimed that acting made her feel accomplished and that it helped her overcome her fears when she was on stage. She participated in cheerleading, softball, hockey, and basketball at school, where she played on a team of boys that her father coached.
Lawrence enjoyed riding horses as a child and frequently visited a nearby horse farm. She was once thrown from a horse, breaking her tailbone in the process. At age nine, she received her first acting role as a prostitute in a church production of the book of Jonah. She continued acting in church productions and school musicals for a few more years.
A talent scout came across Jennifer Lawrence when she was 14 years old while on vacation with her family in New York City. Lawrence briefly relocated to New York to attend acting auditions, despite her mother's initial reservations about her choosing to pursue an acting career. She received compliments from talent agents, but her mother persuaded her that they were deceiving her.
Lawrence persuaded her parents to allow her to attend Los Angeles acting auditions after she signed a contract with the CESD Talent Agency. At the age of 14, she quit school and considered herself "self-educated." In between her acting gigs, Lawrence worked as an assistant nurse at her mother's camp in Louisville.
