Happy Birthday, Jennifer Lawrence! Born 8/15/90 in Indian Hills, she grew up immersed in the spirit of Derby City and quickly became one of Hollywood’s brightest stars, celebrated for her talent, wit, and grounded charm. Not to mention, cheering on the Cards by sporting team gear and flashing “L”s, helping local medical care facilities, or funding Louisville schoolgirls. Jennifer is a true “Hometown Hero”! Just some of the many reasons Louisville loves her and wishes her a wonderful birthday!
