This story about a young Jennifer Lawrence will make you love her even more

"I first met Jennifer over five years ago, and it was at a small dinner party at [studio executive] Michael Burns' house," Lansing said.

"There were about 12 people there and Michael came over to me and he asked me if I could sit next to Jennifer. He told me he was worried about her.

"Michael told me that Hunger Games was about to come out and he believed that it was going to be a hugely successful film and he said that Jennifer had absolutely no idea how her life was going to change."

73-year-old Lansing, who had a long career in Hollywood as an actress and later as a studio executive, described Lawrence as "a highly confident woman" saying that she didn't think the star "needed any advice from anyone".

"But then, Jennifer did something quite remarkable," she added.

"She turned to me and she said, 'I know Michael is worried about me, and I know he wanted you to talk to me but please don't worry about me.'"

She recalled how Lawrence told her: "I have a secret. I always knew I was going to be famous, so I am totally prepared for it."

"In that simple, direct honesty I actually knew everything I needed to know about Jennifer," Lansing added.

"I knew she was a very, very special person and I knew she was going to be more than fine."
