Actress Jennifer Lawrence, best-known for playing Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games (2012), was born in Louisville, Kentucky on August 15, 1990.

During that time, she scored some small commercial and film roles, and shortly thereafter her family moved to Los Angeles so she could further pursue her dream. She was cast in the TBS sitcom "The Bill Engvall Show" (2007), and in smaller movies like The Poker House (2008) and The Burning Plain (2008).

Georgia Jagger
Georgia May
Jagger is the youngest daughter of Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall. At the tender age of 16 she signed with Independent Models, following
her mum and elder sister Lizzie into the fashion industry thanks to her
famously full lips, wavy blonde locks and standout gap-toothed style. That year
she made her catwalk debut for Vivienne Westwood - and hasn't looked back
since. Still in the fledgling days of her career, she already has campaigns for
Rimmel, Versace, Chanel and Hudson jeans (with whom she has a £1 million deal
that includes a design element) under her belt and she was named Model Of The
Year at the 2009 British Fashion Awards. After a brief flirtation with living
in New York, she returned to her native London because she missed her mum and
dogs; she currently resides in Richmond.
