Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc. and Columbia Pictures Industries

1. The Girl on the Train is far from her first project.

If you feel like you recognize Bennet from somewhere, you're probably right. After all, she got her start in Hollywood nearly a decade ago as a pop princess in 2007's Music and Lyrics. Since then, Bennett has appeared opposite Denzel Washington in The Equalizer, was surrounded by the likes of Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke in this year's Magnificent Seven reboot and will star in Warren Beatty's upcoming creation, Rules Don't Apply. 

2. She's a triple threat. 

When Bennett took the mic in Music and Lyrics, she belted it out for real. A singer and dancer in addition to an actress, the star was even reportedly signed to a label and performed a concert in 2008. 

3. She's had little formal acting training. 

Despite a string of cinematic hits coming her way, the young star never went to school for this. "It is so funny because I was always embarrassed because I never had formal training in acting," the Ohio native revealed to Vanity Fair. "I basically grew up in the backwoods." Eventually, the star enrolled at an acting studio where she found a coach and honed her craft for a couple of months.
