Before Jennifer Lawrence was shooting arrows, she was playing a broken-hearted heroine in a Shakespeare play.

The 24-year-old Oscar winner played Desdemona in Shakespeare's "Othello" in high school, and CNN released the footage to prove it. The clip is short, but it shows a 14-year-old Lawrence on stage at the Walden Theatre in Louisville, KY, playing the Venetian woman who falls in love with Othello. Watch the clip below and try not to expect Lawrence to pull out a bow and arrow.
