Jennifer Lawrence Tops Forbes List of Most Powerful Actresses

Photo by Arthur Mola/Invision/APJennifer Lawrence ranks 12th on Forbes annual Celebrity 100 power list, and #1 on their Power Actress List this year. Forbes' Celebrity 100 measures earnings and fame to rank the 100 most powerful celebrities in the worlds of movies, TV, books, sports, music and modeling. Earnings estimates are based on dozens of conversations with agents, producers, lawyers and other in-the-know folks. The Power Actress list is derived from the Celebrity 100.

From Forbes:

Action heroes don’t always have to be men. That’s the lesson actress Jennifer Lawrence is teaching Hollywood, $1 million at a time. As Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies, she fights for her life against a tyrannical government without spending much time worrying about which boy she’s going to choose. Her butt-kicking ways have helped the franchise earn $1.5 billion so far with two more movies on the way.

She also showed off her action chops in the recent X-Men: Days of Future Past. As shape-shifting mutant Mystique, Lawrence had plenty of fight scenes and her star power helped make the movie the highest-grossing of the X-Men films with $700 million at the global box office so far.

Oh, and Lawrence can also act. Just 23 years old, Lawrence has been nominated for three Academy Awards. She won the Best Actress award in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook.

That combination of action hero and award-winning actress makes Jennifer Lawrence the most powerful actress in Hollywood right now. We estimate that she earned $34 million between June 2013 and June 2014. Lawrence ranks 12th on our Celebrity 100 power list, which makes her the highest-ranked actress.

Jennifer Lawrence Talks About The Downside of Fame

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most famous people in the world right now. Though Lawrence embraces her fame, and is known to be a fan friendly star, she has to deal with another side of fame, the invasion of her privacy. While many stars love the fame no matter what comes with it, Lawrence tells Hollywood Outbreak that at times, fame isn’t as glamorous as people think.

No, it's not everything that you think it's going to be. Because you think it's going to be annoying and then it kind of turns out to be scary. Um, and you also forget and you don't realize that the paparazzi, at the end of the day, are almost at the bottom of your list of problems. When you prepare yourself to be, you know, famous or whatever, you expect that to be a part of your life but you also forget that, um, the entire world starts treating you differently and you don't feel any differently and it's very alienating and it's something that I never thought about. 

Lori Petty Talks Directing Jennifer Lawrence's Debut, "She Deserves 100% of Her Success, Period"

Jennifer Lawrence in 'The Poker House'Actress Lori Petty was a staple of 90's hits like Point Break, Tank Girl and A League of Their Own, and just made an appearance in the season premiere of Orange Is The New Black. She's also been busy directing films, and helmed Jennifer Lawrence's 2008 debut feature film, The Poker House. She spoke with The Daily Beast about discovering Jennifer and what makes her a star.

I saw your 2008 directorial debut, The Poker House, and people don’t really give you enough credit for “discovering” Jennifer Lawrence, since that was her first film credit.

No shit! You can quote me on that. No shit. I cast her in her first film. Look, she deserves one hundred percent of her success, period. In addition to that, I think I passed along 25 years of experience of being an actress to her. But she’s amazing and the camera loves her, and that’s why I cast her. It’s like when I first saw Leo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life. We were editing A League of Their Own and De Niro and them were editing This Boy’s Life next door. Me and Penny [Marshall] were inseparable because I wanted to absorb everything she was doing, so I’d go to post-production with her. So De Niro comes in and goes, “You’ve got to see this kid.” So we went into the room and saw some unedited scenes with DiCaprio and both went, “There’s another movie star.” That’s what happened with Jennifer.

Where did you find Jennifer?

I’ve lived in Venice since Point Break in ’91, and Mary Vernieu lives in Venice, so she cast The Poker House as a favor to me, and she’s brilliant and casts every good movie. So, I’m in Chicago and we’d already cast Selma Blair as the mom, and Selma is five feet tall and weights 90 pounds. Mary sends me these tapes of these girls and goes, “This girl Jennifer Lawrence is a star. You have to watch this tape.” But it said she was 5’9” on her resume, and I said, “I can’t fit them both in the frame! How am I supposed to have the mom be 5’ and the daughter be 5’9”?” But she said, “Just watch the tape.” So I watched the tape and was like, “Okay, great, that’s another movie star.”

When I flew back to L.A., I put Jennifer, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Sophi [Bairley], who plays the middle daughter, read together, and afterwards I said, “Do you want to be in a movie?” And they said, “Of course, that’s why we’re here.” And I said, “No, do you want to be in this movie?” And they said, “Yes, of course we do, that’s why we’re here.” And I said, “No, I’m offering you the part, do you want to be in this movie?” And they started jumping up and down and screaming. I did that because I hated auditioning for a part and then waiting five days for your agent to tell you that you got it.

And Jennifer Lawrence’s father pops up in the film, too, as the basketball coach.

I forgot about that! He’s the basketball coach, yes. He was just hanging around. It was super low-budget and I had no producers looking over my shoulder. Steve Cannell, god rest his soul, just wrote a check and it was handled through his production company, so we were just humpin’ and making a movie. So I don’t know whose idea it was.

Here's a flashback to Lori and Jennifer doing press for The Poker House in 2010.

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth + Cast Spotted in Berlin

The paparazzi has found them already! Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth were both spotted outside Soho House Hotel in Berlin yesterday. The cast is in Germany to complete work on Mockingjay.

And after being spotted in Madrid several times yesterday, Josh Hutcherson showed up in a fan pic this morning that was hashtagged #Berlin. It looks like it could be in the airport. But we don't have confirmation that this is ACTUALLY in Berlin so, for now, just enjoy a photo of Josh in a unconfirmed location!
