Before They Were Famous: Anna Kendrick Spotlighted

Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by in News


ABC has posted a brief article about Anna and her Up In The Air co-star, Vera Farmiga.

Kendrick, 24, caught the acting bug at age 5, when she played an orphan in a community production of “Annie” in her hometown of Portland, Maine.

Kendrick and her brother, Michael Cooke Kendrick, would travel six hours by bus to New York City for casting calls. They weathered a lot of rejection. “There are Pop Tart commercials and kid hair product commercials [that I didn't get],” Kendrick told ABC News’ Nick Watt. “My hair was just so frizzy and all. … I looked like Shirley Temple. So I feel like I had no business auditioning for kids’ hair products.”
