The 52-year-old "Pulp Fiction" helmer thinks Lawrence, 25, could have done a good job with the heroine's part in his upcoming film "The Hateful Eight", reported People magazine.
"I could have seen Jennifer Lawrence doing a good job with the role. I'm a very big fan of hers. I think she could end up being another little Bette Davis if she keeps on going the way she's going," Tarantino said.
He, however, said the character he perceived was older than Lawrence's age and Jennifer Jason Leigh did a great job.
"The Hateful Eight" also stars Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen.
It is scheduled to hit theatres in US this Christmas.
