10 Best Actresses Under 24

1. Jennifer Lawrence

Who else. It's almost sickening just how good J-Law is. She can do the big franchises, the action movies, the blockbusters and then turn around and bag an Oscar. If Lawrence carries on at the rate she's going she will go down in cinematic history as a true legend of the screen. She will be spoken about in the same breath as Hepburn and Monroe. Except she's cooler than them - because she's in X-Men. There's really no need to explain just why Lawrence's star will continue to rise; rise until it twinkles above all her Hollywood peers. Even in her breakthrough role, 2010's Winter's Bone, she was superb. That was only four years ago. Since then the twenty-three year old has landed the lead role in The Hunger Games franchise, which immediately rocketed her up the stardom stakes. And that was after she got the part of Mystique in X-Men: First Class. But that's only the blockbuster side of Lawrence's roles. She received her first Academy Award nomination for Winter's Bone. She then won one for her role in David O Russell's Silver Linings Playbook, before taking her third nomination (that's one for every year she's over twenty) for 2013's American Hustle. With more The Hunger Games' films on the way and her current role in the brilliant X-Men: Days of Future Past, Lawrence is sorted for the foreseeable future. She needn't audition for another role ever again.
