Natalie Portman... Up and Already a Super Star?

You may have seen her roles in V for Vendetta or The Black Swan. But it seems this diamond in the rough was talented at a very early age. To be precise she was discovered by an agent at age 11, in a pizza parlour. An interesting and acclectic woman who always chooses roles that seem to "stay true to herself". But it has only been these past few years that Natalie has truly blossomed in the acting world. Growing from and extra in The Star Wars series to a neurotic ballerina in The Black Swan. Besides having to lose tons of pounds and having to train for all the moves the movie requires I give her dedication my top praise, and am not surprised at all that she won an Oscar. Her first movie that I saw was V for Vendetta, taking place in England. Her voice sounded so natural with a British accent that I had assumed she was British, but was astounded when I looked her up, she was originally from Jerusalem, Israel but then relocated with her doctor father and artist mother to America.
If you think actors are all high school drop-outs, well you thought wrong. Natalie graduated from HARVARD, earning honour marks that made her parents proud.
Fun facts you wouldn't find anywhere else..
- She's supporting Free The Children with "The Power of a Girl", she's not greedy and she's compassionate
-Won an Oscar
-She's a Vegetarian and has been since the age of 8
-She took dance lessons since age 4
-She can speak Hebrew and English
-When she's older she wants to be a doctor
So what do you think, have I convinced you she's cool enough to check out, and if so what made you interested? Do you think that she has become a Super Actress? Let me know!
