Among the stars of the new generation there are many talented and promising people, and one of those was the beautiful Anna Kendrick. Filmography, in which the main roles will prevail, is often the result of a long journey for the actors and a hopeless series of supporting plans. Although Kendrick began her career with secondary roles, she quickly managed to win the sympathy of the audience and critics, and now most of the credits begin with her name.
Biography
Anna Kendrick, whose filmography currently has about thirty films, was born in 1985 in Portland. In the family of an accountant and history teacher, two children appeared who had been attracted to art since childhood. Anna shared her passion for the stage with her older brother Michael, and both decided to become actors in the future.

At thirteen, she played in the Broadway musical "High Society", for which she was nominated for the prestigious Tony Theater Award. Thus, she managed to make her way to the wide screen.
Start a movie career
After five successful years at the theater, it is time for the next step. In 2003, the film “Camp” was released, in which background debutante Anna Kendrick took part in the background. The filmography, starring with her, starts four years later, thanks to the filming in the film "Granite Science." The film itself was severely criticized, but Anna's acting was appreciated. In parallel with the full-length movie, she starred in TV shows, for example in “The Incarnation of Fear” and “Viva Laughlin,” but these roles were not crowned with particular success. Then the girl goes to the casting of the saga "Twilight", which as a result turns into an embodiment for her on the screen of the image of Jessica, the classmate of the main character. This event became a solid foundation for her subsequent career. Around the same time, she appeared in the films “Acquaintance with Mark” and “Somewhere Out There,” but they remained passable.
Recognized Success
In 2009, the picture was released with George Clooney and Vera Farmiga, “I would be in heaven,” and the role of the second plan in it is brilliantly performed by Anna Kendrick. The filmography of the actress after that rises to a whole new level, largely due to the fact that for the image of Natalie Keener she will receive nominations for all the most prestigious awards of the award season, including the Oscar, Golden Globe and MTV Movie Awards. There are many rumors around the filming process of the picture itself, which was associated with conflict situations. But Kendrick spoke very warmly about her colleague in the Clooney workshop and admitted that it was difficult for her to perceive him as a world sex symbol, and characterized their relationship as family.
