Anna Kendrick

It is that wonderful time in the week when we pick another "Artist Of The Week"! I feel that this weeks pick is kind of different and kind of unique. It is a female we no best for acting ability. It is none other than Anna Kendrick. Anna Kendrick started her career at the age of 10, when she caught a bus from Portland, Maine, to New York City so that she could attend auditions. Kendrick's first acting role was as Dinah in the Broadway musical High Society in August 1998 when she was 12 years old, a performance for which she won the Theatre World Award and was nominated for a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award making her the third-youngest Tony Award nominee. She rose to international fame after her performance as Natalie Keener in Up in the Air (2009), for which she received Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Her other notable roles include Dinah Lord in the Broadway musical High Society (1998), for which she was nominated for a Tony Award; Fritzi Wagner in Camp (2003), Jessica Stanley in The Twilight Saga (2008–11), Stacey Pilgrim in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Beca Mitchell in Pitch Perfect (2012), Jill in Drinking Buddies (2013), and as Cinderella in Into the Woods (2014). What got my attention about this very talent was of course her singing chops in the movie "Pitch Perfect" but what really made me take notice wall the cute video for the song called "Cup". I think she really show that she is more than a one trick pony. I think music style is kind of playful. I think that is something is missing for the music industry. So take a listen and tell me what you think. Remember you can follow me on Twitter @StarsOnTheRise and like my page on Facebook just look for the logo!
