Despite being rejected during the Twilight auditions due to her unremarkable appearance, Jennifer Lawrence, an aspiring actress at the time, later found her breakthrough in the renowned Hunger Games franchise. In an interview with The Unwatchables, Lawrence disclosed her initial dreams of being part of the Twilight series, expressing her disappointment when she was swiftly dismissed from the casting room without a second thought.

However, this rejection served as a turning point in her career trajectory. With a few more years of training and perseverance, Jennifer Lawrence eventually secured the lead role in The Hunger Games, propelling her into the A-list stratosphere. The success of The Hunger Games franchise contributed significantly to her rise to fame, leading her to be crowned the highest-paid actress in the world for two consecutive years. Forbes’ global data collection in 2015 and 2016 placed Lawrence at the pinnacle of Hollywood, a remarkable achievement that stood in stark contrast to the comparatively subdued trajectory of the main stars from the Twilight series.

In 2023, Jennifer Lawrence made a captivating appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, presenting her self-produced documentary project, Bread and Roses, and showcasing her versatility with the global premiere of the movie No Hard Feelings, exhibiting her evolving and diverse on-screen persona.
