I can relate to that. Back in 1980 Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane stopped by my house, and told me to vote for Boss Hogg. Which I did. But since then, nothing. I’m lost at sea, I tell ya.

The two-time Oscar winner knocked on doors, had lunch with Sen. Jacky Rosen and sat with first-time voters and business owners in the city as part of a Democratic push to get out the vote.
With days to go before the election, the push is on from both parties to get out the vote in battleground states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Democrats and White House hopeful Kamala Harris got a boost in Nevada from two-time Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who landed in Las Vegas on Friday for a day of campaign activities that included door-knocking outreach and meetings with local officials.
Per intel confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence’s itinerary kicked off with a canvass launch at the campaign field office, where she met up with Nevada Democratic regional organizing director Craig Bakerjian and a group of volunteers. Up next, the team hit voter-rich areas in the city to do door-knocking in an attempt to spread the campaign’s messaging.
The day continued at Mothership Coffee Roasters for lunch with Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen and Juanny Romero, CEO of Mothership, the latter of whom took the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to share her story of entrepreneurship and how the administration helped her achieve her goals. Lawrence sat for what is described as an intimate roundtable of seven guests, including first-time voters, small business owners and local activists. The conversation is said to have focused on the importance of voter turnout, meaningful dialogue on pressing local issues and bipartisan cooperation.
Lawrence’s appearance in Nevada comes more than a month after she revealed in an exclusive with People that she was endorsing the Harris-Tim Walz ticket for president. “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights,” she said. “That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”
Lawrence, who is pregnant with her second child, is a producer of the Hillary and Chelsea Clinton-backed Zurwarski v Texas, a documentary about a group of women who sued the state of Texas in 2023 after they were denied abortions when their health was at risk. The film was directed by Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault. Lawrence and Justine Ciarrocchi also produced Bread and Roses, an Apple Original film from director Sahra Mani about the experiences of Afghanistan women living under the Taliban since they took control of Kabul.
Who you vote for in Vegas stays in Vegas. Come gamble your future on Kamala!
She's desperate not to go a full decade without a recognized film.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘RATS had her cover the brothels, one wh*re to another. “If you want to get royally screwed, vote Harris/Walz!”
Ankles behind the ears, that's all I'm sayin'.
Does she live in Las Vegas? Maybe to avoid California’s 14% income tax at her bracket?
I can relate to that. Back in 1980 Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane stopped by my house, and told me to vote for Boss Hogg. Which I did. But since then, nothing. I’m lost at sea, I tell ya.
Who is Jennifer Lawrence? Is she the woman that was on the Carol Burnett show?
She’s has a few decent roles in David O Russel films. She can act. American Hustle was a good movie. Didn’t put politics or the FBI in a good light, for what it’s worth.
It poses an interesting question. How would I react if some arrogant celebrity actually banged on my door to tell me how to vote?
I’m almost certainly better educated than any celebrity (multiple graduate degrees).
I’m almost certainly more intelligent (high IQ score, though James Woods, God bless him, has me beat in spades).
I’m almost certainly more accomplished than any celebrity when it comes to intellectual and professional pursuits.
What would be the appropriate response? On the one hand I was taught to be civil (and charitable), but on the other hand I utterly, viscerally despise arrogance.
I like Jennifer Lawrence. Most actresses suck nowadays. But she’s pretty good.
I don’t know who she is. I recognize the name, but that’s it. But then I haven’t seen a single Hollywood-produced item made after 2009 (they year they help Obozo get elected, i.e. the proverbial Last Straw). My film knowledge literally stopped at Avatar. I’ve seen nothing they produced after that point.
If she came to my door I would ask “how much is it worth to you?”
I could really care less what most celebs think.
Celebrities at my door!? I’m not worthy. I need them to tell me how to vote and live my life. Celebrities are so great at running their own lives 🙄. You know the wise and all knowing Jennifer Lawrence once said she only respected a man who openly flatulated. So if she comes to your door and you are a man...
I wish... I'd sure give them a piece of my mind.
That’s all well and good, but your average Truck driver level blue collar worker could school them just as well. They’re out of touch blithering idiots that support democrat politicians.
Well, “Avatar” was bad enough to put people off of movies for good.
‘American Hustle’ was released in 2013.
Very true. Among my friends (who I’ve known since grade school and high school) I was the lucky one. Everyone else I know has a blue-collar job and has a hundred times the common sense of any of those celebrities. It annoys the hell out of me that a Hollywood type who doesn’t know his or her ass from a hole in the ground would have the gall to tell ordinary folks how to vote.
