Jennifer Lawrence is clarifying the remarks about action movies that "came out wrong" in her recent interview with Viola Davis.

Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games (2012), apparently the first-ever action film with a woman in the lead role. I haven't seen it. But in fairness, Lawrence ...

She was, as the Duchess of Sussex might say, merely expressing “her truth” and “resting in her authenticity.” The latter are not, but it makes sense: while the idea of foundations just happening to be registered in Vatican City might sound iffy prima facie, they are actually a core customer base for the IOR, the Vatican’s high street bank.

Decades before Lawrence starred in 'Hunger Games,' Grier broke ground by fronting a series of action movies about fighting female protagonists.

Host Trevor Noah showed that he was aware of Grier’s legacy when he praised her as the “original action star when Black women weren’t allowed to be portrayed like that.” “I’m from the Black West,” Grier told Noah. She also spent a lot of time on her grandfather’s ranch, where she learned to ride horses and her grandfather instilled in her a belief that girls and women should be self-sufficient. The controversy was initially sparked Wednesday when Variety published Lawrence’s remarks about starring as Katniss Everdeen in the “The Hunger Games” franchise, starting in 2012. Maybe it’s “recency bias” or something more insidious, but people commenting on Lawrence’s remarks also overlooked Grier when they offered up examples of female stars who preceded Lawrence in the action realm. She played female protagonists who take the lead in investigating crimes, seeking justice and righting wrongs, usually by doing all the fighting, shooting and other action moves traditionally done by men.

The vanity of left-wing Hollywood elites is nothing new. For years, these people have lived lives of privilege, luxury, and often crude self-indulgence ...

It's to highlight Lawrence's cluelessness about the history of female action stars despite her being one. People like her are part of the problem they claim to detest. I could probably come up with dozens more, but the purpose of this article is not to list every female action movie star who came before Lawrence. It was a banner decade for the female action star, and it happened more than 30 years before Lawrence's role. Foxy Brown was a vigilante who battled and defeated a gang of drug dealers who had killed her boyfriend. Lawrence was speaking with fellow actress Viola Davis, and the two were lamenting how devastatingly horrible their lives have been as actresses in Hollywood.

Jennifer Lawrence clarified her recent comments about being the first to star in a female-led action film: "That's certainly not what I meant to say at all.

But this one, I was like, 'I think I want to clarify.'" "It's just amazing to watch it happen and watch you at the helm." "One time I was quoted saying that Donald Trump was responsible for hurricanes," she said.

"What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels. I had nerves talking to a living legend."

I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film," said Lawrence. "What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels."

“I felt that one was ridiculous, that it was so stupid I didn’t need to comment. “Not just with me in it, but with anyone who looks like me in it? And I meant that with Viola — to blow past these old myths that you hear about.” As for Davis, the Black actor had an additional prejudice aside from gender to overcome. What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels. “I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film.
