She's completely opposite of what you're accusing her of. I think you're just jealous because she's the only actress in Hollywood who isn't afraid to be real.

This is all well and good and while I appreciate her attempt at this role, I must say the entire cast did just that, attempt.

As a mental health sufferer, Silver Linings was a bit offense to me and (if anyone cares to read and closely follow up) a large percentage of the medical community. You'd have to be diagnosed with kind of stuff to really understand where I'm coming from.

Each of the actors portrayed only a glimpse of what hell living like this is like. It all just fell way too short.

Her breakthrough as a celebrity figure was The Hunger Games, but it was Winter's Bone that made her known to the Hollywood community (and her first Oscar nomination). Winter's Bone was probably the biggest factor in Jennifer being cast for THG.
