You never know why an actor or actress seem to wrack up a ton of work in such a short period of time. I would guess that many young married actresses may work a lot for a short period in preparation that she plans on having a family. One reason for an actor working a lot that I found interesting was Michael J. Fox. As Michael tells in this very good interview: [http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/michael-j-fox](http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/michael-j-fox) he knew that he had Parkinson’s and decided to focus as much as he could in his career, making money for his family’s future. ---

I had to look her up. Interesting that she’s also a [body builder](http://orig08.deviantart.net/3233/f/2014/133/f/e/anna_kendrick_celebrity_steroids_by_tc2-d7i8vyf.jpg). ---

> [@BigT](#): > > This was a huge deal in the JLaw fandom. Twitter is where they congregate. The idea that Twitter is no big deal is really old. Twitter isn’t a big deal and anyone who thinks it is isn’t paying attention. There will always be some controversy on Twitter, but if it doesn’t blow over into the wider Internet, then even Twitter users will forget about it in a day. There’s no Jennifer Lawrence backlash on Twitter, and even if there were, it wouldn’t affect her career because most moviegoers (and all movie executives) don’t give a shit about it. ---

Dude, you really ought to stay out of things you know nothing about. It’s getting tiring. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Dude, you really ought to stay out of things you know nothing about. It’s getting tiring. Dude, Jennifer Lawrence has four projects in the works in the near-term, was nominated for an Oscar for Joy, and is [still pretty popular with marketing people](http://www.inquisitr.com/2880600/jennifer-lawrence-dominates-in-x-men-apocalypse-heroes-poster/). This Twitter backlash thing is either all in your head or manufactured nonsense by a bunch of Twitter trolls. ---

> [@Uosdwis\_R.Dewoh](#): > > Kendrick is 30 so she still has a couple of years left to bank in on lighthearted romantic comedies. > [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Either she still looks really young or I am getting really old. She definitely looks young. She co-starred in _Into the Woods_ with Emily Blunt. To me it seemed like Blunt’s character should have been seen as being about seven years older than Kendrick’s character, maybe as much as 10 years older even (not explicitly an issue in the film, just how the characters came across to me personally). I found that to be a completely believable age difference… despite the fact that Emily Blunt is only 2 1⁄2 years older than Anna Kendrick. For me, this has a lot to do with Kendrick looking young but it also has to do with how Emily Blunt looks. She’s a very sophisticated kind of a beauty, not that she looks _old_ so much as she comes across very mature and competent and, well, sophisticated. A casting director could put her in a role of a character who’s quite a bit older than she herself and I would totally believe it.
