Biography of Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick is a popular American actress, famous for playing in such films as Up in the Air, Pitch Perfect, Twilight, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, End of Watch, and other popular pictures.
Childhood of Anna Kendrick. First Roles
The future star of American cinematography, Anna Kendrick, was born into a family of a school teacher and accountant from Portland on August 9, 1985. The young girl has an older brother, Michael, who has also dedicated his life to the film industry (he played in the drama Looking for an Echo and the TV show Celebrity Ghost Stories).
Up to ten years, she was an ordinary American schoolgirl: she was a diligent schoolgirl, practiced music and showed parents short performances she had produced with her brother. In 1995, parents finally considered their children's interests and the family traveled to New York to participate in the first significant audition.
At the audition, she was considered too young and inexperienced, so she was advised to return in a couple of years. But next time, the 12-year old Anna gained film directors' hearts and got a role in the Broadway musical High Society. Despite her young age, she received a nomination for the prestigious Tony Award for that role.
From that moment on, she had to split her time between school and theater. Pretty soon, she got a second significant role. This time, it was a role in the musical A Little Night Music.

Acting Career of Anna Kendrick

But pretty soon, Anna Kendrick got a long-awaited breakthrough role of Jessica Stanley in the vampire saga Twilight, a classmate of Bella Swan who was secretly in love with Edward Cullen. You'd think, a role in the super popular franchise with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would have been a pearl of Anna Kendrick's short filmography she had at that time. But the actress thought otherwise, In Twilight, I portrayed a silly girl. And I hope my admirers will remember me for my other works such as Up in the Air or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Indeed, Twilight has become a starting point for her future career breakthrough. Only a year later, the tragicomedy Up in the Air was released in which the girl portrayed an active university graduate who got a job in a company providing dismissal services. According to the plot, her character faces all ins and outs of this business against a backdrop of the main character's personal drama - an in-house lawyer Ryan Bingham portrayed by George Clooney.
Later, the girl appeared in the screen version of comic books Scott Pilgrim vs. the World where she portrayed a younger sister of the main character. Unfortunately, a storyline of her character, Stacey Pilgrim, was significantly cut during the final film editing. But in return, she gained priceless experience and became friends with key actors of the project, Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
After this project, the actress stared with Seth Rogen in the comedy Life After Beth, she also appeared in the follow-ups of Twilight and even in the thriller The Company You Keep directed by Robert Redford himself.
Her appearance in the crime picture End of Watch caught spectators' memory - Anna Kendrick portrayed Janet, a pregnant wife of a policeman who was haunted by Mexican drug dealers.

The picture The Voices with Ryan Reynolds in the lead gave the actress an unusual experience. A Hollywood cutie portrayed a kind guy, suffering from mental disorder, and Anna Kendrick portrayed one of his girl-friends. An unexpected plot twist surprised all film spectators.
In 2014, the heart touching melodrama The Last Five Years was released. The romance of characters portrayed by Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan was accompanied by romantic melodies most of which the actors had performed themselves.
