Anna Kendrick: Rising Star

Anna Kendrick may play a supporting role in the Twilight movies but the young actress is getting serious Oscar buzz for role opposite George Clooney in “Up in the Air”. Anna is featured in USA Today Weekend where the petite actress talked about her constant flying from one set to another and her start as an actress. Here is an excerpt:

Although those two guys are tabloid regulars, the “Up in the Air” star is just fine with flying, so to speak, under the radar. Getting gussied up for premieres isn’t quite her style. The good news: She can get back to “my Converse-wearing, video-store existence right after I’m doing something really glamorous,” she says.

Anna Kendrick’s trips between film festivals and movie sets have included lots of jet lag, frequent flier miles (when she actually remembers to register for them) and travel snafus. “I’m always the one with the scissors in my carry-on or the belt that sets off the metal detectors,” laments the 24-year-old actress. “I’m usually falling apart in the middle of an airport.”

She’s the picture of professionalism, though, when she isn’t hopping on all those connecting flights. Her breakthrough role in “Up in the Air,” opening Dec. 4 in some cities, has the newcomer and superstar George Clooney playing a pair of traveling corporate downsizers. Kendrick managed to squeeze her star-making turn with Clooney into an already packed movie season: The actress also can be found in the “Twilight” films “New Moon” (in theaters now) and “Eclipse” (due next summer), in which she spends quality screen time with another famous heartthrob, Robert Pattinson.
