Stef Dawson Interview
Actress Stef Dawson chats with Mark and Cristina about her new movie, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" which opens November 20th. Before auditioning for the film, Stef was a huge fan of the books and had really hoped she could get the part of Annie. Stef says she should have been nervous about acting side-by-side with such a talented cast, including Jennifer Lawrence and Woody Harrelson, but instead, they all became as close as a family.
