Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick is one of those rare performers who makes everything look effortless — which, if you've ever seen her work, you know is the biggest lie in Hollywood. She got her Theatre World Award back in 1998 as a kid on Broadway, then quietly built a career where she could pivot from Oscar-nominated dramatic work in Up in the Air to leading a full-blown a cappella comedy franchise in Pitch Perfect without anyone blinking. Add in her genuinely funny, self-deprecating Twitter presence and a memoir that actually had personality, and you get someone who never needed a manufactured "moment" — she just kept showing up and being sharper than the room expected. Five-foot-two and running circles around everyone.
