Childhood

Jennifer Shrader Lawrence was born on August 15, 1990 in Kentucky. Growing up as a tomboy, she was involved in cheer-leading, field hockey, softball, and modeling. She acted in church plays and, by the age of 14, had decided to pursue an acting career, persuading her parents to take her to New York City to find a talent agent.

She graduated from Kammerer Middle School two years early in order to begin acting.
