10. Anna Kendrick Was Nominated For A Tony At Age 12

Before landing her Oscar-nominated role in Up in the Air as well as her star-making turns in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and Pitch Perfect, Anna Kendrick began her career with theatre auditions in New York City when she was a child.

During her interview on her episode of WTF in 2014, she spoke about how she made her parents drive her to New York from their home in Maine so she could audition for theatre productions in the city.

On the podcast, Kendrick discussed her breakthrough Broadway role as Dinah Lord in the 1998 musical High Society, for which she was nominated for a Tony Award for Featured Actress in a Musical and won a Theater World Award...at just 12 years-old!

It's a true testament to her talent that she was recognised at such prominent awards shows at such a young age. It's a crazy achievement for an actor and an impressive highlight in Kendrick's colourful career.
