At 17, Kendrick made her first foray into film, acting in the role of Fritzi Wagner in the independent film "Camp." The movie, which centers on a musical theater summer camp, features Kendrick as a nerdy, scheming character who tries desperately to earn the affection of the camp's cool girl and queen bee, Jill.
"My character in Camp is lonely, isolated, dark," she explained in an interview on NPR's Fresh Air. "She is in love with the very blond, very popular girl at camp. And she becomes something of a servant to her, really. But that's fine with Fritzi, my character, because she's sort of ambiguously in love with her. And nobody really likes Fritzi, but then she gets the last laugh."
Spoiler alert: After being rebuffed and bullied by Jill, Kendrick's character eventually gets her revenge by putting Woolite in Jill's Snapple and, when Jill becomes sick to her stomach, quickly taking her place in the camp's final performance.
