Of course, instead of studying acting, she gave a push to her studies, according to her parents, who were not the typical parents obsessed with their ‘girl’ succeeding in the cinema. So she finished high school two years earlier than normal, she shared with her parents the idea of ​​how important a good education was. She would then be guided by instinct. with stubbornness She assures that she, perhaps naively, never thought “if this thing of being an actress doesn’t work out, I’ll become a doctor.”

It is clear that his consecration has come with the film Winter’s Bone (2010), awarded at Sundance, and nominated for an Oscar for best film. The actress herself was nominated for her meritorious role as a 17-year-old girl who has to act as the head of the family, going to companies that are not recommended to save the family home. Despite being a character that she suffers, the actress says that this does not affect her personally, “they are not real emotions,” she explains, “I use my imagination.”

Giving an idea of ​​Jen’s strong character, her comment about a scene in which she kills and skins a squirrel to feed her little brothers: “I should say that she did not suffer for PETA [animal protection association], but to hell with PETA ”.

For 2011 it has very attractive titles. She has filmed under the orders of Jodie Foster , and with Mel Gibson , The Beaver ; and assures that he has enjoyed her with the directing actress, who he says reminds him of herself. She’s going to be Mystique in X-Men: First Class . And she also makes her debut in the horror genre with The House at the End of the Street , along with Elisabeth Shue .
