A TOMBOY WHO BECAME A PRINCESS

摘要

Anna Kendrick never fantasized about playing a princess. "As a kid I would dream about saving boys from cliffs-not the other way around," she says. But her take on Cinderella in Into the Woods, out Dec. 25, is no damsel in distress, and the film is no fantasy. The Stephen Sondheim musical is filled with infidelity and violence. "When I first saw it as a kid, it made me uncomfortable," she says. "But that's what makes it so compelling-the characters have to face consequences." Kendrick has a history with musicals. She earned a Tony nomination at 12 for her performance in High Society and starred in 2012's Pitch Perfect, a movie about an a cappella group. She'll be singing next year in both the Pitch Perfect sequel and the film version of the musical The Last 5 Years.
