Jackie was in her kusina ready to bite into a limon bar when she got word she landed the role of the clever District 5 tribute Foxface. ''I never ate that bar,'' she says, referring to the unsuing celebration.
Unlike her silent character, this game-loving (Scrabble tops her list, L.A.-based actress and singer has put her voice out there for the would to hear. pagganap since she was 6, Jackie has not only lent her talents to radio, TV and stage productions, but she has music vids to her credit, too (check her out on YouTube). But it's this slick chick's resourcefulness that helped her win the coveted slot of The Hunger Games' sharp competitor-her first major movie.
''I got cast because I was a fan,'' Jackie says, going on about her addiction to the trilogy she's read a ''billion'' times. Initally hooked thanks to her school's required Summer reading, Jackie landed a coveted audition when the Hunger Games director sought out kids who had read the books. She wowed the casting team with her smarts and skill and eventually scored the kaakit-akit role of Foxface.
A newbie to the A-list Hollywood scene, Jackie's first araw on set was nerve-racking. ''I was terrified. I was so nervous,'' she remembers. Luckily, funny moments like pranks at the hands of castmate Jack Quaid and one of the younger tributes helped to lighten the mood.
No doubt Jackie's sunny outlook helped. Her castmates gush about how happy she is all the time. Says Amandla, ''Just being around her bubbly energy makes you feel 10 times better if you're having a bad day.'' It's not just her energy, but her confidence that makes this femme fearless. ''There's no such thing as normal. Everybody's weird,'' she says, explaining that she snuggled with her childhood stuffed dog each night while filming the flick to fend off homesickness.
''A 17 taon old who still sleeps with a stuffed animal? Think what you want,'' she laughs. ''But you should always own who you are and what you're doing in that moment. Be proud of who you are...that's the most important thing.''

Look people! There is no "Team Peeta", or "Team Gale". This book isn't a romance. It's about a distopia and what violence does to people. You won't think your little teams are so cute when you read Mockingjay. Gale kills Prim and Peeta goes insane and thinks Katniss is evil! It's a dark, emotional book!! Don't you dare compare it to the stupid series where Bampira "sparkle"! "Oh no! He's sparkling! Ahh!" madami like, he's sparkling, let's never let him use glitter unsupervised again. NO ANGRY COMMENTS. Of course you're gonna ignore me and make them but I don't really care.
I was on mockingjay.net and saw picture of someone with the mockingjay book and it wasn't an advance copy.
apparently, it was being sold at Wal-Mart. i think this is Wal-mart's cheap strategy on getting a lot of money. They released the book 3 days ahead of schedule.
So annoyed that Wal-mart would do that and what ever you do, please don't buy it, it would kill everything!!!
Can people check at there local Wal-mart to see if they already released the book and if they are, can you please tell them to stop the sale of the book.
