Elizabeth Banks is an American actress who portrayed Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.
Elizabeth Banks (born Elizabeth Irene Mitchell; February 10, 1974) is an American actress and filmmaker. She is known for playing Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games film series (2012–2015) and Gail Abernathy-McKadden in the Pitch Perfect film series (2012–2017).
In The Hunger Games, Effie Trinket has pink hair, speculated to be a wig, and during the reaping wears a spring-green suit. As she gives speeches, she constantly adjusts her attire.
According to the star behind Effie, Elizabeth Banks, she and Haymitch's Woody Harrelson improvised the scene. Considering she's been adamant about the characters having some romantic connection, it only makes sense that they'd share a goodbye kiss. It's very on-brand for Effie, as well.
Why did Haymitch hit Peeta in the jaw on the train?
Katniss asks Haymitch for advice, and his response is, “Stay alive.” Then he laughs. Peeta responds aggressively, knocking the glass out of Haymitch's hand, and Haymitch responds by punching Peeta in the jaw.
She has been working at PEOPLE for 15 years. Her 30 Rock character Avery Jessup is a new mom – and it turns out Elizabeth Banks is as well. The actress and husband Max Handelman have welcomed son Felix via gestational surrogate, Banks Tweeted Wednesday.
Chelsea Hander loves that Elizabeth Banks and she look alike. The former talk show host welcomed Banks to her show by joking, “My twin sister is here everybody.”
For one thing, Songbirds & Snakes is set 64 years before Katniss volunteers as tribute. That means there's probably a generation or two between Lucy Gray and Katniss if they are related. Fans also know who Katniss' mother is, so that rules out Lucy Gray being her mom.
In the books, we learn that Tigris became one of the stylists for the tributes of the Games and over the years, she began getting surgical enhancements to make her look more like a tiger, such as flattening her nose and getting tattoos. Because of this, Coriolanus fires Tigris.
Kudos to the stunt head. Jena Malone is no stranger to extreme hairstyles, but she'll let you in on a secret: That's actually a stranger's shaved head, not hers, that you're seeing in the new "Hunger Games" flick.
While Effie Trinket is one of the most beloved characters in The Hunger Games, she's also inadvertently a cruel member of the Capitol. As a villain with heroic moments, she genuinely cares about Katniss and wishes the best for her. However, the way Effie smiles throughout the Reaping can't be anything but inhumane.
Lavinia has dark red hair, striking features, and porcelain white skin. Being an Avox, her tongue was cut out and she is therefore mute. Katniss said that Lavinia had a "Capitol" look to her. She is also subject to a lifetime of servitude to the Capitol.
In March 2011, the Massachusetts native announced on her website that she and Max welcomed their first child, Felix, via gestational surrogacy. “Felix means 'happy' and 'lucky' in Latin,” she explained about her son's name. “And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life.”
Elizabeth Banks is one hard-working mamma, and that's just fine with her. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Banks opens up about managing her career and life with her two boys. The Hunger Games actress, 49, has two children with husband Max Handelman — sons Felix, 11, and Magnus, 10.
Soon after his father's "death", Elizabeth begins to experience pregnancy symptoms and Abigail informs that she is pregnant with Jack's child. He was born on Christmas Eve, in a hunting cabin in the woods. His mother, Elizabeth, went into labor on the way home from picking up his baby carriage.
The rules for the second Quarter Quell stipulated that double the number of tributes were to be reaped from the districts for the Games. At the age of 16, Haymitch was reaped as one of District 12's two male tributes for the 50th Hunger Games alongside Maysilee Donner and another female tribute.
Toward the end of the novel, Katniss realizes that Haymitch has been keeping information from her and using her to help the rebellion, causing her to feel extremely betrayed. On the other hand, his goals are generally good ones.
Seneca Crane was the previous Head Gamemaker, who was executed for allowing two victors. Katniss painted his name on a dummy and hanged it to warn them that they're not safe and the same thing could easily happen to them.
