Later she was a member of the Cabaret's Kit Kit Club theater company . She played her first role in 1998 as Dinah in the Broadway play High Society . For her performance she was nominated for the Tony Award as the second youngest actress ever nominated for this award . She was also nominated for the Drama Desk Award and received a Theater World Award . She then appeared in numerous plays - including The Little Princess and Jane Eyre - and appeared in the New York City Opera as Frederika in A Little Night Music (2003).

In 2004 she was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award in the category Best Acting Debut and for the Chlotrudis Award for Best Supporting Actress. In 2007, Kendrick played a bigger supporting role than Ginny Ryerson in the comedy Rocket Science . In 2008 she was nominated again for the Independent Spirit Award for best supporting actress.

Breakthrough in the film business

Anna Kendrick in 2010

She gained greater fame in 2008 as Jessica Stanley in the film adaptation of the novel Twilight - Bite at Dawn . In 2009 she was able to use her theater and musical experience in the musical comedy The Marc Pease Experience alongside Ben Stiller and Jason Schwartzman . However, the film received mixed reviews and flopped at the American box office. In Germany it was therefore released directly on DVD , as was the thriller Small Town Secret - What happened last summer? , in which Kendrick starred as Sarah in her first lead role .

She finally achieved her breakthrough in 2009 alongside George Clooney and Vera Farmiga in Jason Reitman's tragic comedy Up in the Air , the film adaptation of the bestseller of the same name by Walter Kirn , which was published in Germany under the title Mr. Bingham Collects Miles . Director Reitman wrote her the role, which does not appear in the novel, tailor-made after seeing her in Rocket Science .

Kendrick received nominations for the Empire Award for Best Newcomer and the Teen Choice Award for Best Scene Stealer .

In 2010 she played Jessica again in Eclipse - Biss zum Abendrot . This time her role has been expanded compared to the original book, because the author Melissa Rosenberg wrote a closing speech in the script especially for Kendrick, which does not appear in Stephenie Meyer's novel. Kendrick also starred alongside Michael Cera in the comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. the Rest of the World as Stacey Pilgrim . The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, but it was not a financial success. She also appeared in the music video Pow Pow by the band LCD Soundsystem .
