She could've had Jennifer Lawrence's career


Same non-threatening (to other women) looks, same bland delivery. I guess it just wasn't in the stars. But could you imagine Jennifer Lawrence in SAVE THE LAST DANCE?

Unfortunately she was prevented from reaching her potential. The powers that be don't like seeing their white female stars making out with black dudes.

Hunger Games made a star out of Jennifer Lawrence. Julia was too old for getting casted as Kaitlynn Everdeen.

I know she's too old for Katness. But by "Career" I meant the success in getting high profile films and becoming huge during her "prime" like Gweneth Paltrow or Angelina Jolie.

Julia even played Jennifer's sister in SLP

But it´s not the people that makes a star, is the industry, directors, producers, so....they give actors a chance and if it turns out they have a hit, they can keep getting job. IT´s much more difficult for women. They get only one chance while males get like 3-4 more times such chances.

That blonde wooden actress from American Pie still gets to play roles in movies but it's movies no one knows about or care. Unfortunately, the same's true for Danny Glover who was a really good actor but the roles he plays nowadays are for movies no one's heard of.

I watched Dirty Grandpa a while back but to be honest, I can't say I remember his character.

Very true.

Jennifer Aniston got more chances than anyone I've ever seen to finally hit the mark in a film.

Anyway, Julia Stiles needs to enjoy her time promoting Jason Bourne because when it's over, it's back to doing a crappy web series at best.
