celeb news Jennifer Lawrence says Hunger Games was the first action movie with a female lead

VARIETY: Jennifer Lawrence and Viola Davis Get Honest About Female Action Heroes, Motherhood and Press Tours Ruining Acting

Lawrence: Goodbye! I want to circle back to you being “The Woman King.” I remember when I was doing “Hunger Games,” nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead. And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they’ve always been in.

Leave her alone she's harmless.

What about Catwoman?

[superben]

Remember that time when she tried to act clumsy and super down-to-earth  

 

Her pick-me manner is worse than her acting.

[Taylena]

Lara Croft, sweetie. 

[Sexyzinger]

I think she actually meant it was just highly unusual. Please refrain from dragging this incredibly talented and respected actress. Thank you.

Salt was 2 years before THG but I think she was definitely one of the first prominent ones in recent times at least…

[Horizon Flame]

Sigourney Weaver would beg to differ.

Angelina Jolie would like a word.

Alien, Tomb Raider, Hunger Games - the only female led action movie franchises I can think of.

[Likingstars]

lol baby, Katniss wasn't even the first lead female action role of the year of 2012 (Kate Beckinsale from Underworld says hi) let alone, the first ever.

 

Women are casted less than men in the roles, yes, but there are at least a dozen different actresses that carried action films long before Hunger Games trilogy. Surely she has some kind of film history knowledge at her big age??

Who did Viola Davis piss off to have them pair her up with insufferable JLaw? 
 

Anyways, has Lawrence been in any notable films lately? All I see her do is attend events.

[mystery]

[Cryptique]

Angelina Jolie sweetie 

Also Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels, Naked Weapon, Close To You

[Cuate]

Somebody forgot ...
