Early Career

Anna Kendrick began auditioning for major Broadway productions before she was even a teenager. At just 12 years old, she landed her breakthrough stage role in the 1998 Broadway revival of "High Society," a performance that earned her a Theatre World Award and nominations for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award—an extraordinary achievement for a child actor.

Success

Kendrick's profile rose dramatically in 2008 when she played Jessica Stanley, Bella Swan's talkative classmate, in "Twilight." Though a supporting role, it introduced her to global audiences and led to appearances in each of the franchise's subsequent films: "New Moon," "Eclipse," and "Breaking Dawn – Part 1." Around this time, she starred in "Elsewhere" and the comedy "The Marc Pease Experience."

Her major breakout came in 2009 with "Up in the Air," where she starred opposite George Clooney as an ambitious young consultant.

In 2012, Kendrick appeared in several films, including "What to Expect When You're Expecting," "End of Watch," and "The Company You Keep." But her biggest hit that year was "Pitch Perfect," in which she played Beca Mitchell, a reluctant college freshman who transforms her campus a cappella group with edgy musical mashups. The film became a surprise blockbuster, grossing over $115 million on a $17 million budget, and Kendrick's performance of "Cups" became a viral sensation.

She reprised her role in "Pitch Perfect 2" (2015) and "Pitch Perfect 3" (2017), both commercial hits. Between those sequels, she starred in "Drinking Buddies," "Into the Woods," "The Voices," "The Last Five Years," and "Mr. Right," balancing indie and studio projects. She also voiced Princess Poppy in the animated hit "Trolls" (2016), a role she returned to in "Trolls World Tour" (2020) and again in "Trolls Band Together" (2023).
