Most people view her as the most flawless and perfect actress around, and believe me (in my opinion at least) that is very true. Whats weird about the description is that most of us view someone as flawless when they seem to have no factual imperfections and look and do everything with zero flaws. While Jennifer Lawrence does somewhat fit that description she has other two other things most people of these qualities tend to lack, self pride and the confidence to not care what other people think. I mean lets be honest, people that we think of as perfect aren't accidentally made out to be that way, it's because they are extra careful and take their time to look their best on and off set. I personally look at Lawrence as a role model actress that represents most of the human race outside of the publicity. She is so true and honest to who she is that she barely even shows up plastered on a magazine or newspaper for a bad picture taken or a mistake because she has enough pride and confidence to be nothing but herself, no matter what people think. Okay enough rambling, lets take a look at Jennifer Lawrence's history.
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence was born on August 15, 1990 in Louisville, Kentucky. "She is the daughter of Karen (Koch) Lawrence, a children's camp manager, and Gary Lawrence, a construction worker" (Wikipedia). In addition she also has two older brothers, Ben and Blaine. By the age of 14 she had decided that she wanted to pursue a career in acting. This persuaded her parents to take her to New York City to find a talent agent. Before finding success in Hollywood, Lawrence attended Kammerer Middle School in Louisville. She graduated from high school two years early with a 3.9 average, working hard at a career in acting. Between growing up and acting, Lawrence served as an assistant nurse at the children's summer day camp that her mother ran.
Lawrence's lead role in Debra Granik's Winter's Bone is often cited as her breakthrough performance which in addition won best picture at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. Her role portrayed the character Ree Dolly, a 17-year-old in the Ozark Mountains, who cares for her mentally ill mother and her younger brother and sister. The performance was highly acclaimed by film critics, which helped earn a more respected and wide variety of audiences around the world. From here we all know where she went next. Her performance in The Hunger Games series has earned her a huge fan base all around the globe. As she continues her career, Jennifer Lawrence continues to achieve success and respect for her pride and intelligence spread throughout.

Drake
The famous rap artist that has entranced many people all over the world, including myself, continues to show up other artists with his incredible work that he produces. Many outsiders of rap artists will tell you rap is a bunch of bull with some profanity to cover up the missing holes of the songs. However, what they don't realize, is that there is a decent amount of intelligence and patients that plays into rappers method of madness, and Drake displays it beautifully.
"Aubrey Drake Graham was born on October 24, 1986, in Toronto, Ontario, to parents Sandi Graham (née Sher), an educator, and Dennis Graham, a drummer who worked with Jerry Lee Lewis" (Wikipedia). At the young age of just 15 Drake started his career after meeting an agent, the father of a friend in high school, that found Drake a role on the Canadian TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation as Jimmy Brooks. In the show, Drakes character Brooks is a basketball star who became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate. He describes how his early acting career affected his family by stating that "My mother was very sick. We were very poor, like broke. The only money I had coming in was off of Canadian TV, which isn't that much money when you break it down. A season of Canadian television is under a teacher's salary, I'll tell you that much. It's definitely not something to go f****** get". He continued his acting career on Degrassi: The Next Generation until 2009, when his character graduated from Degrassi. Overall, he appeared in a total of 138 episodes.
After his Degrassi experience Drake started to work on mixed tapes. His first few self-released mixed tapes achieved success and he was signed to Young Money Records on June of 2009. His first debuted album Thank Me Later blew up, and ever since Drake has been a rap icon. With a fan base of many who can relate and feel his lyrics, Drake has easily become one of the most respected rap artists out there. As of now, he continues to write and inspire many throughout the world with a career that is no where near burnout.

Dylan O'Brien
The very well known (and extremely attractive) Dylan O'Brien has been on the rise lately. His amazing performances on and off screen have grown him an incredible fan base that continues to rise, and his recently released movie The Maze Runner has made him the talk of many. Others though, such as myself, have been hooked since his first appearance in Teen Wolf. However, either way, Dylan O'Brien has made himself a great reputation that will last him a lifetime as we all, and many more to come, continue to watch his grace, poise, kindness, and intelligence throughout his career.
"Dylan O'Brien was born in New York City, to Lisa Rhodes, a former actress who also ran an acting school, and Patrick O'Brien, a camera operator" IMDB says. His birthdate is August 26th 1991, making him 23 years old this year. Although he grew up in Springfield Township, New Jersey, at the age of twelve he moved to Hermosa Beach, California where his career would take off. At fourteen, he began posing original videos onto his YouTube channel. "With the videos developing, a local producer/director approached him about doing work for a web series of hers" (Wikipedia). As he pursued working on the web series O'Brien met an actor who connected him with a manager. He went through multiple auditions before getting the main role on MTV's Teen Wolf. However, after reading the script he decided he wanted to audition for the role of Stiles instead. After four auditions he was cast. It was then in 2011 that he began playing the role of Stiles in Teen Wolf. In 2013 he co-starred in the comedy film The Internship with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, which eventually lead him to his lead role of The Maze Runner in 2014.
In addition to his outstanding career accomplishments O'Brien has won several awards. He won the Giffoni Experience Award at the Giffoni International Film Festival in 2014. The same year he also won the Teen Choice award for best TV villain at, you guessed it, the Teen Choice Awards. Yahoo! Movies recently named O'Brien as one of the 15 Breakout Stars to watch for in 2014. As for his last award, also won in 2014, O'Brien won the Young Hollywood Award for Breakthough Actor at, yes once again the very obvious, Young Hollywood Awards.
Many are entranced and ecstatic to continue to watch his amazing career and life unfold as not only an incredible actor, but and inspiring person as well.
