Willow Shields


                          
Up and coming actress Willow Shields has made her debut in the Hunger Games series. Willow had been in just a few other movies with very small parts but really became a star when she played Primrose Everdeen in The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is about a country that is divided up into twelve districts, the districts send one boy and one girl to fight to the finish until there is only one person standing. The movie is based off the book by Suzanne Collins. More Info. Willow Shields plays Primrose Everdeen who originally gets picked to represent district twelve. But her older sister Katniss Everdeen, who is the main character steps in and volunteers for her.   

Even though Willow plays a small part in the movie I think that she did a very good job playing she scared little girl role. Willow, for such a young actor  plays the role very well and convinces the audience that she truly is poor and scared for her life. Since she is so young sometimes it is hard for younger people to act so deeply for something that is all just fake. But nothing is fake about Willow Shields. Willow has a twin sister Autumn and an older brother River. Willow says that the bond between Katniss and Primrose is just like the bond between her and her twin sister so that’s why playing that role isn’t so hard.

With the new Hunger Games movie coming out, Mockingjay, Willow has been getting a lot of publicity lately. Recently I have seen her on the cover of my Seventeen Magazine, which is a magazine for teen girls. Personally I thought she looked gorgeous in her cover picture. Her interview was very good too. I learned things about her that I never had known before. Actually before her appearance in Seventeen I only had known her as the girl from the Hunger Games.
So far I haven’t seen in the news that Willow has gotten herself into trouble, and let the fame go to her head, I just hope it stays like that. I hope she is really down to earth and won’t let the new found stardom get to her like a lot of other stars do. I think that with Mockingjay premiering in about a month her career is only going to rise from here. She is like a mini Jennifer Lawrence in the movie and in real life. Since Jennifer’s career got subcutaneously better after her role in the Hunger Games, it is only likely to think that Willow’s will rise too.
