Set your DVRs! Anna will be a guest on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on CBS on the night of Tuesday, January 19, 2010 (check local listings for exact time and channel). Be sure to tune in and check back to AKF afterwards for clips and caps if you miss it!

Anna is featured in the new issue of V Magazine, in a brand new photoshoot and interview. Pick up the copy, on sale January 14, and check back to AKF for exclusive HQ scans!

The 24-year-old actress speaks openly about her Up In The Air character Natalie: “It’s incredibly rare to find a role that’s this juicy written for a young woman. For the most part, girls my age in movies exist to fall in love with a guy who’s on a journey and she’s just sort of something that happens along the way. Here, I get to have my own journey and my own problems and I fall apart and have to pick the pieces back up, and it has nothing to do with the face that she’s young and female. She just happens to be young and female.”

In real life, Anna says that, “I’m drawn to characters who are more outspoken and more independent then I am in life. They give me a chance to say all the things I wish I could say that I don’t. They let me exercise a part of myself that I don’t on a daily basis.”

Other actresses featured in “Eight Women” include Diane Kruger, Zoe Saldana and Zooey Deschanel.

V63 (covered by Dakota Fanning and Gabourey Sidibe) hits stands on Thursday, January 14, 2010.

ANNA KENDRICK: The Hollywood Interview

By Terry Keefe
(Currently appearing in this month’s Venice Magazine.)

Anna Kendrick has always excelled at playing the smartest person in the room, and one who you definitely want to watch your back around. We were introduced to Kendrick in her big-screen debut, Todd Graff’s Camp in 2003, when she played young teen actress wannabe Fritzi Wagner in a notable supporting role. Described by one adult character in the film as a “scary little girl,” Wagner begins the story as a mousy sidekick to blonde theater star diva Jill (Alana Allen), but then manages to quite literally push Jill off the stage in a fierce All About Eve-style turnaround. In 2007, Kendrick won critical acclaim for her work as manipulative high school debate champion Ginny Ryerson in Rocket Science. Like Fritzi Wagner, Ginny Ryerson had a freaky air of intelligence well beyond her years, and she also had bite. The character reminded a bit of Reese Witherspoon’s Tracy Flick in Election from a decade earlier, except that Ginny felt considerably more dangerous. In a Godzilla vs. Mothra battle between these two high school over-achievers, Ginny Ryerson would have eaten Tracy Flick whole.
