Natalie Hershlag

Natalie Portman is an American actress, winner of the Oscar for the main female role. Natalie's biography has dozens of roles in films, many of which became cult films immediately after the premiere and were included in the lists of movie classics.

The star of the films "Leon", "Star Wars" and "Black Swan" Natalie Portman quickly ascended to the heights of Hollywood, conquering millions of viewers around the world from her first roles. Portman played her first role at the age of 13 and immediately became a sought-after young actress. She is also known for her social position: the artist is a supporter of vegetarianism and an ardent protector of animals, who refused to wear fur, leather and even feathers.

The talented artist who won the love of millions was born on June 9, 1981 in the holy city of Jerusalem. The father of the actress Avner Hershlag (Natalie wore this last name until her film debut) was a respected doctor specializing in fertility problems.

Physicians of such high qualifications have always been in demand in the United States, so in 1984 the family moved to Washington. There Avner took up professional development, and sent his daughter to a Jewish school, where she received a decent education and constantly remembered the roots of the family.

At school, the girl studied successfully, mastered Hebrew, English, French and other languages, which in the future helped a lot in her acting career. From the age of 4, Portman was engaged in dancing, during the summer holidays she went to a children's camp specializing in the development of acting skills in children.

Later, the family of the future artist moved to Long Island, where Natalie studied in high school. The future actress was extremely responsible for education, the girl liked to study and master new knowledge. Young Portman was fond of science and even became a co-author of a scientific work on "Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen". The girl actively participated in scientific exhibitions, competitions and competitions. Perhaps, if fate had been different, the world would never have known about the talented actress Natalie Portman, but would have seen the scientist Natalie Hershlag.

After high school, Portman entered Harvard University, where she received a bachelor's degree in psychology. Her research work was devoted to the study of "the activity of the frontal lobe of the brain with object constancy." At the same time, the girl tries herself on the theater stage.

In the production of the play "The Seagull" by Anton Chekhov by the Delacort Theater in New York, she played the role of Nina Zarechnaya. In 2004, Natalie returned to education and entered the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Two years later, the artist gave a lecture at Columbia University.

In 2007, Natalie created a brand of footwear made of artificial materials, which, according to the activist, can completely replace products made from natural animal components. The Hollywood star has also been featured in PETA's fur-free advertising campaign.

Portman's career has developed so rapidly and on a large scale that almost every work in the rather extensive filmography of the actress deserves a separate mention. Already in childhood, Natalie was fully aware of who she wanted to become in the future. The young actress attended all the auditions, and in 1993 she was lucky: she got the main role in the cult film "Leon" by French director Luc Besson.

Then the transformation of the actress from Hershlag to Portman took place, the girl took the surname worn by her grandmother on her mother's side. Curiously, Natalie was initially denied the role because the assistant director found Portman too old. But the director did not accept any of the proposed actresses, the tests had to continue and involve previously retired candidates, including Portman.

The young actress conquered Besson with her acting, as well as the incredible ability to cry on command alone, which was a decisive factor in Portman's favor. For a 13-year-old girl, it was a resounding start, bringing a huge number of filming proposals to the beginner.

Portman's next role was not so noticeable, but the actress again starred in the frame with the first Hollywood stars - Alem Pacino and Robert De Niro in the film "Fight". The ambitious girl managed to achieve a lot, in fact, in all films, the actress played with the stars of the first magnitude, which could not but affect Natalie's success.

Films with the participation of the young artist were accompanied by positive reviews from critics, and the girl's acting talents increasingly deserved special praise.

Natalie's resounding success and worldwide recognition came after her appearance in the cult film by George Lucas “Star Wars. Episode 1: The Phantom Menace ", which was released in 1999. For the role of Queen Amidala, ruler of the planet Naboo, the actress abandoned other projects.

According to the plot, Natalie's character worked as a double-servant, the role of which went to Keira Knightley, unknown to anyone at that time, who, through the efforts of make-up artists, became an exact copy of Natalie.

The similarity between the two actresses was so striking that it later paved the way for the young Knightley in big cinema. The audience was incredibly delighted with the next part of their favorite movie, but the critics were not so merciful to the director's brainchild.

The film received numerous Golden Raspberry nominations, including one indirectly offensive actress for Worst On-Screen Couple.

Natalie's fame spread throughout the world, and the actress was specially invited to projects. So, the actress Susan Sarandon gave the director of the film "Anywhere but Here" an ultimatum that she would play only in tandem with a young star, and the scriptwriters even had to rewrite the plot in order to remove the erotic scene with Natalie, which is why she had previously refused from participating in the picture.

Critics were overwhelmed by the Portman game, the girl again earned a lot of positive reviews and was awarded two nominations for prestigious awards.

The next step in the career of the actress was the role in the movie "Intimacy", where she found herself on the same set with Julia Roberts. For her role, Portman received her first Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.

In 2008, the actress made her debut as director and screenwriter for the short film "Eve". According to Natalie, Portman was inspired by her own grandmother to write this plot and the image of the main character. Soon, the artist's repertoire was embellished with the main role in the drama “Another of the Boleyn Family”.

On the screen, Portman embodied the historical personality of Anne Boleyn. Scarlett Johansson and Erik Bana joined the star cast ensemble with her. After this film, Natalie was awarded the title of "The Hottest Woman in World Cinema" according to the Blender edition.

In 2010, Portman played the role of a ballerina in the acclaimed drama Black Swan. The role of the rival ballerina was played by Mila Kunis. In order to reliably play the dancing heroine, Natalie spent a lot of time training and lost 9 kg. But the dancing skills of the actress were not enough to repeat the professional movements, and in difficult moments the ballerina Sarah Lane acted as Portman's understudy.

For her work, the celebrity received the long-awaited Oscar, after which a scandal erupted in the press regarding the number of dances performed by the actress. According to Lane, the ballerina performed the lion's share of the dance routines, while director Darren Aronofsky claimed that Portman appeared in over 80% of those scenes.

Interestingly, a year later, Natalie starred in the romantic comedy "More than Sex", where she was played by Ashton Kutcher, the husband of the previous partner of actress Mila Kunis. After the release of the film, a comic suggestion appeared in the press that Portman was the only person who kissed both spouses of this artistic couple.

In 2011, Natalie joined the MCU "Marvel". The actress played the female lead in the film Thor. Natalie introduced the heroine Jane Foster, a scientist and beloved of the god of thunder, and in the comics, also a warrior who replaced Thor when the Asgardian left the heroic post.

In 2011, the original storyline was even blacklisted as the best unproduced scripts.

In September 2016, the dramatic biography of "Jackie" was released. The premiere took place at the Venice Film Festival. The picture shows the assassination of American President John F.

In 2000, Natalie met and began dating a young actor Gael Garcia Bernal, but the couple's relationship did not last longer than a year. Later, the actor said that he did not want to part with the girl, but it was difficult for him to maintain a relationship due to mismatched work schedules.
