Kendrick’s career began at the age of 12 with a supporting role in the Broadway musical “High Society,” which earned her a Tony nomination.

Despite her success, Kendrick admits to having struggled with self-doubt and the pressure to live up to expectations.

In her interview, Kendrick reveals that she often compares herself to other actresses, such as Beca Mitchell from “Pitch Perfect” and Jessica Stanley from “Twilight.” However, she emphasizes that she does not fully agree with these comparisons, stating that she is more savvy and self-aware than her characters.

Kendrick’s latest role in “Woman of the Hour” is a departure from her usual comedic and musical roles. The film tells the true story of an aspiring actress who encounters a serial killer while filming a TV episode.

She credits her success to her ability to stand up for herself and speak up about things that she feels strongly about. Kendrick also shares her advice for other women struggling with self-doubt, encouraging them to trust their abilities and not be afraid to take on new challenges.
