Before They Were Pitch Perfect

Before They Were 'Pitch Perfect'

Anna Kendrick

By ANTOINETTE BUENO

First up is Anna Kendrick, who recently got a standing ovation from Dave Letterman himself, when she sang an impressive version of Lulu and the Lampshades You're Gonna Miss Me on the spot. Though her Oscar nomination for her role opposite George Clooney in Up in the Air is well-known, a lesser-known fact is that she was nominated for a Tony Award for her role in High Society on Broadway when she was just 12 years old. Today, video surfaced of Anna singing Life Upon the Wicked Stage (a Show Boat tune) at a concert event in Carnegie Hall in 1998.
