Jennifer Lawrence - the influential superstar - is a four-time Oscar nominee, who has proved her exceptional talent in various genres making her one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood. She earned her first break as the lead cast member in the sitcom The Bill Engvall Show and made her big-screen debut in 2008 with the movie Garden Party. She went on to play many characters but gained recognition for starring in X-Men and the Hunger Games film series.

In 2012, she earned her first Academy Award for Silver Linings Playbook, making her the second-youngest winner of the award. Her smart choices, combined with her naturally charismatic personality, have made her a fan favourite and as she turns a year older on August 15, we look at her top five films.
