Wanting to stay true to Bella traditions, she frequently butts heads with Becca (Anna Kendrick) who wants to refresh what it means to be a Barden Bella.

In 2013 Camp won the Best Musical Moment award from MTV Movie Awards for the Riff Off scene where the Bellas sang No Diggity. Camp was also nominated for Best WTF Moment from MTV Movie Awards for the scene where she argues with the other Bellas and forces herself to puke from the pressure.

ANNA CAMP BIOGRAPHY: A LITTLE PRAYER

Changing gears, Camp recently played a serious role in the drama A Little Prayer. The film follows a North Carolina family dealing with relatable familial issues. The father, Bill (David Strathairn) worries about his adult children. David (Will Pullen) is Bill’s son and might be cheating on his wife Tammy (Jane Levy). Patti (Camp) is Bill’s daughter who recently left her addict husband. The audience is left questioning if the turmoil and drama will split the family apart or bring them closer together.

In an exclusive interview with uInterview, Camp talked about her role in the film at the Sundance Film Festival.

“It’s a story about family and about love and about heartbreak and about being brave and truthful,” Camp revealed. “It also addresses a woman’s right to choose which is also incredibly powerful and I hope sparks a lot of conversation here at the festival.”

Camp also discussed what her character is like.

“She’s a bit of a mess,” she said. “She’s a mom. She’s doing the best that she can. I don’t know if being a mother is her top thing that she’s good at. But she loves her daughter so much and really at the end of the day will do anything for her. But yeah, the movie kind of showcases what it means to be a mom and be a parent, and Patti has got her own way of doing that.”
