Jennifer Lawrence Knows Other Women Have Led Action Films Before,Jennifer Lawrence said she knows that other women led action films before she starred as Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games Franchise. Lawrence said she was nervous when she made the comment to Viola Davis for Variety’s Actors on Actors interview.
Jennifer Lawrence Knows Other Women Have Led Action Films Before
Jennifer Lawrence didn’t mean to suggest that she made herstory, okay? Everyone can calm down now. Yesterday, Variety dropped Lawrence’s conversation with Viola Davis for the “Actors on Actors” series. “I remember when I was doing Hunger Games, nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie, because it wouldn’t work, we were told,” Lawrence said during the nearly 45-minute interview. “Girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.” Unsurprisingly, the Causeway star has now clarified to The Hollywood Reporter that she misspoke, and does know that other women have led action films. (Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Yeoh, Pam Grier, Uma Thurman, Michelle Rodriguez, and Milla Jovovich are just some of the women who played action heroines before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute.) “What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels,” Lawrence said. “And I meant that with Viola — to blow past these old myths that you hear about … about the chatter that you would hear around that kind of thing. But it was my blunder and it came out wrong. I had nerves talking to a living legend.”

Amazon could soon be forced to recognize UK trade union
Amazon could soon be forced to recognize UK trade union,LONDON (Reuters) -U.S. technology and retail giant Amazon could soon be required to formally recognise the GMB trade union at its Coventry warehouse in Britain, after a government body ruled in the union's favour. GMB said in a statement on Friday that Amazon workers at the site would now vote on union recognition, and if approved, it would be the first time outside the United States that Amazon was required to bargain with a union over pay, hours and holiday. Amazon has historically opposed unionisation, but in 2022, workers at one of its New York warehouses forced the company to recognise a trade union in the U.S. for the first time.
