About
Elizabeth Banks turned Effie Trinket's Capitol-blue hair into a decade of franchise dominance, then pivoted behind the camera to direct record-breaking hits. Born Elizabeth Mitchell on February 10, 1974, in the US, she built her directorial reputation with Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)—whose $69 million opening-weekend gross broke the first-time director record—and went on to helm Charlie's Angels (2019) and Cocaine Bear (2023). As an Aquarius, she balances collaborative spirit with indie filmmaker ambition.

Elizabeth Banks is an American actress and filmmaker known for anchoring The Hunger Games film series (2012–2015) as chaperone Effie Trinket and the Pitch Perfect franchise (2012–2017) as an ICCA commentator. She made her film debut in the independent film Surrender Dorothy (1998) and appeared in ensemble and supporting roles across Spider-Man (2002–2007), Seabiscuit (2003), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Slither (2006), Invincible (2006), Role Models (2008), The Lego Movie films (2014–2019), and Magic Mike XXL (2015). On television, she earned three Primetime Emmy nominations for recurring roles on 30 Rock (2010–2012), Scrubs (2006–2009), and Modern Family (2009–2020), and hosted the ABC revival of Press Your Luck starting in 2019. Her directorial debut, Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), grossed $69 million in its opening weekend—a record for a first-time director—and she followed with Charlie's Angels (2019) and Cocaine Bear (2023). Born February 10, 1974, in the US, Banks embodies the Aquarius drive to innovate; her life-path number 6 reflects her focus on collaborative production and ensemble storytelling.
