Jackie was in her cucina ready to bite into a limone 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. recitazione since she was 6, Jackie has not only lent her talents to radio, TV and stage productions, but she has Musica 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 prugna role of Foxface.
A newbie to the A-list Hollywood scene, Jackie's first giorno 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 te 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 anno old who still sleeps with a stuffed animal? Think what te want,'' she laughs. ''But te should always own who te are and what you're doing in that moment. Be proud of who te are...that's the most important thing.''
