Natalie Portman was born on 9th June 1981, in Jerusalem, Israel, as the only child of a doctor father and an artist mother, who also acts as Natalie's agent. She left Israel for Washington, DC, when she was still very young. After a few more moves, her family finally settled in New York, where she lived until her graduation from high school. She graduated with honors, and her academic achievements allowed her to attend Harvard. She was discovered by an agent in a pizza parlor at the age of 11. She was pushed towards a career in modeling but she decided that she would rather pursue a career in acting. She was featured in many live performances, but she made her powerful film debut in the movie Léon (1994) (aka "The Professional"). Following this role Natalie won roles in such films as Heat (1995), Beautiful Girls (1996), and Mars Attacks! (1996). It wasn't until 1999 that Natalie received worldwide fame as Queen Amidala in the highly anticipated US$431 million-grossing prequel Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Afterwards, she starred in two critically acclaimed comedy dramas, Anywhere But Here (1999), Where the Heart Is (2000), and Closer (2004/I), for which she received an Oscar nomination.

[1999] Can speak two languages, Hebrew and English (her native languages), fluently. Also knows some conversational French, German, and Japanese and Spanish. Originally turned down the role of Ann August in the film Anywhere But Here (1999) because of the love scene between herself and Corbin Allred that required nudity. Susan Sarandon, who had co-star approval, said she couldn't continue the movie without Portman, so the script was re-written without the scene and she accepted the role. Was a member of the environmental song and dance troupe The World Patrol Kids under her real name, Natalie Hershlag. She is an only child. She went to Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Camp in 1994 and 1995 where she was Anne in "Anne of Green Gables" in 1994 and "Tapestry" in 1995. Was the first choice to play Juliet in Romeo + Juliet (1996) but turned it down because of the scenes and the age difference between her and Leonardo DiCaprio. She was discovered in a pizza parlor and was originally turned down for the role of Mathilda in Léon (1994) because she was too young. Harpers and Queen magazine said that she is "the new Audrey Hepburn". Turned down the title role in Adrian Lyne's Lolita (1997), due to her feelings about young adult actors/actresses being exposed to sex in films. Before she was cast in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), she had never seen the original 3 Star Wars movies. Moved to the US when she was 3 years old. Turned down the role of Wendy in The Ice Storm (1997) because she felt the material was "too dark." The role went to Christina Ricci, who has said she often gets the projects Natalie turns down.

Was reportedly caught using a fake ID trying to sneak into Boston club called the Roxy. The performer Moby insisted that she was invited by him and refused to perform unless she was admitted. She was admitted, and security watched her as she stood in the back, watched the show, and didn't drink. Stated in an on-line interview that the story about sneaking into the Roxy club in Boston to see Moby is not true and that she and her friends went home after they were denied entrance.

They still keep in touch, and recently threw a party together in New York City. Fashion designer Zac Posen refers to her as his "muse." Both she and Sofia Coppola have played the daughter of a character played by Al Pacino, and also both appeared in a film featuring Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Bears a striking resemblance to Keira Knightley. Keira Knightley played Sabé in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), the Queen's decoy. When in make-up, the mothers of the actresses could not even tell them apart. She hesitantly shot an explicit nude scene for Closer (2004/I), in the scene where Alice (Portman) strips for Larry (Clive Owen). Ultimately, Portman and director Mike Nichols agreed not to use it, as the scene was effective enough without it. Shaved her head for V for Vendetta (2005).

(2005) Says her performances in Everyone Says I Love You and the three Star Wars films are her worst. Her failure, she believes, is her inability to do improv. While in Morocco, she lived in a tent and traveled by camel. Several months after shaving her head, she was traveling through Ireland and stopped for directions at a bed and breakfast. The owners refused to allow her even onto their porch. They did, however, give her directions. Voted Peta2's Sexiest Female Vegetarian of 2006. Also won in 2002 A radio station once had a contest to find out where she went to school; Backstreet Boys tickets were the prizes. Her mother is American (the daughter of one Russian parent, one Austrian) and her father is Israeli (son of a Polish father). In 1999, magazines reported that Portman started a new trend- wearing logo t-shirts- when they snapped photos of her at her eighteenth birthday wearing a snug Nesquik shirt. She had borrowed the shirt from her best-friend's eight-year-old brother; he was appalled. In 2005, she spent a few months in Madrid partying with Javier Bardem and friends. She was mostly unrecognizable to fans because of her mohawk. Occasionally shelters dogs. Once during an interview, she offered a metaphor for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, from the David Hare play Via Dolorosa; about a man who jumps out of a burning building and lands on a passerby and breaks his leg. The passerby says, "You broke my leg," and the man breaks his other leg to shut him up. Said that it was while working on The Seagull (2001) that she became aware that acting is much more about the process than the product. Most helpful was when she would peek over Philip Seymour Hoffman's shoulder at the notebook he kept in which he wrote questions and then answers about his character's feelings. She became the first client of Artists Management Group to land representation at the powerhouse Creative Artists Agency. CAA refused to work with clients of its former founder Michael Ovitz's AMG; as soon as the one-time super-agent sold out his interest in the management firm, CAA went straight after Portman. Was surprised and amused to discover that her apartment in the heart of Kings Cross, London, was across the street from a brothel. Took diving courses in Eilat, Israel. Diving is one of her favorite hobbies. For her '03 New Year's party she wore a Zac Posen dress that had over $10,000 worth of crystals sewn onto it. She also attended Moby's much-hyped secret Naked NYE party. As the first day of Cold Mountain filming fell on Halloween, Portman came to set dressed as Dorothy Gale only to realize she was the only one who'd dressed up. Her years at Harvard resulted in the phenomenon of The Natalies, in which every underclasswoman with that first name received numerous e-mails and phone messages from fans. When she arrived at a London airport to do re-shoots for the third Star Wars prequel, a customs official- going by her size- asked Natalie if she was traveling with a guardian. Is a close friend and well-known customer of Zac Posen. Mike Nichols and his wife, Diane Sawyer, have been friends with Natalie since she was 15. Is friends with Jeanine Lobell, founder of Stila cosmetics, and her husband, actor Anthony Edwards. She is friends with young writer Jonathan Safran Foer. Became friends with German director Tom Tykwer while filming True. Has been friends with American designer Isaac Mizrahi since she was 14. Attended a soccer game in Madrid with Stellan Skarsgard. Afterwards, the team gave her her own jersey. While in northern Iraq in 2004, the 1st Battalion 5th Infantry hung a giant poster of her in their command hanger after discovering that most of the men in the unit were big fans.
