== Katniss ==

Jennifer Lawrence is chosen to be Katniss from the Hunger Games, however, I'm not going to edit it myself because I don't have a wikipedia account. But just to let you know! <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 06:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Reads like PR Fluff. ==

This article reads like PR fluff,so I am going to change some of the unsourced praises.--] (]) 20:12, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

== Block quote ==
Block quotes are famously used here on wikipedia for long reviews or personal quotes. There is nothing wrong with using block quotes. The review from Rolling Stone is lenghty and needs to be put in a block quote. Putting a block quote from a top critic does not make the page look like a fansite. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 04:40, 25 March 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I don't have a problem with block quotes, but the quote itself is ridiculous. It's far too long and covers too much ground, like the film itself, the character, a Twilight comparison, and her previous Oscar nomination. We should decide on a phrase that actually focuses on Lawrence's performance, such as:

:* "Lawrence reveals a physical and emotional grace that's astonishing. Give her the deed, because she owns this movie."
:* "Lawrence, 21, is an acting dynamo with the skills to let us into Katniss' searching mind."
:* "My advice is to keep your eyes on Lawrence, who turns the movie into a victory by presenting a heroine propelled by principle. She makes Katniss revolutionary."

== Lamely written article ==
I'm too lazy to make a wikipedia account and edit this page, but it's terrible. For example, lines like 'The performance was highly acclaimed by film critics.' oh was it now? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 17:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Personal Life ==

I added a couple of lines, that were fact and were sourced, and for some reason they were taken out within hours by an unregistered user.
I'm sure if i'll add them again they will just be taken out again. What can be done about this? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 23:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Action Film ==

Is ] really an action movie? Its listed on the page as a Sci-Fi Action Drama, and I would consider it much more of a drama than action (especially the first two acts, which have absolutely no 'action' at all). I bring this up because it says she is the highest earning action heroine of all time, but I question how valid that assertion is. Maybe that's not how these things work, but I would dispute that classification. ] (]) 15:57, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


Box Office Mojo, CNN, and Detroit News said she's the highest grossing action heroine right now.

== Hunger Games reviews ==

While I think it's good to expand about The Hunger Games by adding the box-office and reviews about Lawrence's performance, I don't think it's good to add so many reviews. Either summarize them or keep the most important ones... --] (]) 12:45, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Is there any information about her ancestry? There's something peculiar about the shape of her eyes, notably her eyelids, which makes me wonder if she has more or less distant Asian ancestry. Or Sami? Granted, this is a superfluous question, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Her eyes are so bright I'm almost compelled to stare at them ;). I'm wondering if I'm the only one to be intrigued by that.--] (]) 12:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:Like her fellow Kentuckian co-star, ], Jennifer Lawrence is a mix of mostly British Isles with some fractions of German - though she is more heavily German than he is (this is a fairly standard Kentucky combination). Her paternal grandparents were David Vernon Lawrence and Doris Shrader. David Vernon Lawrence, a high school basketball player, is pictured - also some info there on his basketball stats (much of his ancestry is documented ). Her paternal grandmother's obituary is , among other places, and also includes a genealogy of her parents (William M. Shrader and Reva Mae Adams). Jennifer Lawrence's maternal grandparents are Charles Koch and Carolyn Mongtomery. There's an article about them . Carolyn Montgomery's parents were Robert C.
