Anna Kendrick's rise from child actor on Broadway to indie film to Hollywood blockbusters, all while awash in self-doubt but equipped with a sardonic sense of humor, is the focus of her autobiography Scrappy Little Nobody.
I didn't realize how much I had actually seen Kendrick in until I read her account; she has had a pretty varied career in a lot of avenues.
Like a lot of these autobiographies, it is a mix of Hollywood adventures and revealing personal stories. How much you enjoy this retelling depends on how much you like Kendrick, but the audiobook reading by her (which I listened to on loan from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library) adds value.
To me, the most profound part was when she said, basically, that making a movie was like hosting a wedding every day, in an uncharted forest.
Worthwhile for fans.
