2) Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence moved to Los Angeles at 14 to be an actress. She won her first big role with the TV series The Bill Engvall Show in 2007. Then came Winter's Bone (2010), which netted her an Academy Award nomination. Lawrence's chameleon nature was fully seen in The Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook in 2012. Using raw talent and ferocious determination, she demonstrated you do not need to attend film school to be a Hollywood star.
