Natalie PortmanThis is a featured page

Natalie_PortmanNatalie Portman was born on the 9th of June 1981 in Jerusalem, Israel. When she was three years old, she moved to Washington, and then on to Connecticut at age seven. Two years later, she moved again, to Long Island, New York, where she still lives today.

She is an only child. Her father is a doctor (a fertility specialist according to what Natalie said on her first Letterman show). Her mother is a housewife, but you'll sometimes hear Natalie say that she is an artist; she thinks saying that she's a housewife makes it sound like she's married to the house.

Portman is not her real name, but her grandmother's maiden name. At the age of 11, she was discovered at a pizza parlor by a modeling agency. However, she opted to pursue an acting career instead. Before the launch of her film career, Natalie appeared in many plays at Usdan Theatre Arts Camp, where she played a dumb blonde named Dora in "Fiorello", as well as Annie in "Annie Get Your Gun". She's an A-student, and wants to go to college, although not to major in Drama. She has considered majoring in Math.

As for her future career, she's said she'd like to be an astronaut or a veterinarian, but has considered acting. And while we're on the subject of acting: Natalie says she has a terrible stage-fright, and is afraid to miss her lines in a live theater performance. She's also known to quickly get in and out of character when acting. From what we've been told, she enjoys various forms of dancing, including ballet, jazz and tap dancing.

She also enjoys reading and writing. On the set of "Beautiful Girls", she learned how to ice skate, which she also likes very much. Her favorite musicians are Bjørk, PJ Harvey, Juliana Hatfield, Alanis Morissette and The Jackson 5. Favorite TV shows are "Friends" and "Ellen". Favorite actor is Ben Kingsley. Her dog - a cross between a Schnauzer and a poodle - is named Noodles. Natalie is a vegetarian. She became a vegetarian at age eight when she witnessed doctors demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken at a medical conference with her father.
