Natalie Portman Biography

Natalie Portman was born on June 9, 1981, in Jerusalem, Israel as the only child of a Doctor (father) and an artist (mother, who also acts as Natalie's agent). Natalie left Israel for Washington 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) (The Professional). Following this role Natalie won roles in such films as Heat (1995), Beautiful Girls (1996) and Mars Attacks! (1996).

     It wouldn't be until 1999 when she received worldwide fame as Queen Amidala in the highly anticipated $431 million grossing Prequel Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Natalie next starred in two critically acclaimed comedy dramas Anywhere But Here (1999), and Where the Heart Is (2000).

Natalie Portman's Purple Rodarte Look

The winner of Best Actress Oscar was no surprise, Natalie Portman's tough ballet training process paid off and she picked up the little gold guy, looking fabulous in her Rodarte gown.

Maybe after using up all her bump-complimenting ideas on the red carpet already, Natalie seemed to look to Jessica Alba's 2008 Oscar look for a little inspiration.

Make Natalie's look strapless and the berry color and flowing line on both would make them look very similar.

Making the look her own, Natalie wore long, beaded tassle earrings from Tiffany's, Jimmy Choo heels and stauette-matching gold Roger Vivier clutch.
