Natalie Portman short bio Natalie Hershlag (born June 9, 1981 in West Jerusalem), better known under her stage name Natalie Portman, is an Israeli-American actress.
Her professional last name of "Portman" is in fact her maternal grandmother's maiden name. It is rumored that she first adopted it in case her performance in Leon would discredit her family. Natalie's paternal family are Israeli descendants of Jewish immigrants from Poland, while her American mother's family is descended from Jewish refugees from Austria and Russia. [1] When Natalie was three years old her family moved from Israel to the United States, first Washington, D.C. in 1984, then Connecticut in 1988, before finally settling down in Syosset, New York in 1990.
Portman was discovered in a pizza parlor at the age of eleven by an agent for Revlon, who offered an opportunity to model. Soon she was introduced to acting talent scouts and made her movie debut at the age of twelve playing a child who befriends a much older assassin in Luc Besson's 1994 film Leon (aka The Professional).
During her teen years Portman played a significant role in the ensemble cast of Beautiful Girls and had minor roles in Everyone Says I Love You and Mars Attacks!. She was one of many celebrities who played themselves in the comedy Zoolander. Portman was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1999 for her role as Ann August in Anywhere But Here.
While pursuing her bachelor's degree in psychology at Harvard she appeared in the Star Wars prequel trilogy of movies, which were filmed during her summer break from university. Among Star Wars fans she is known for playing the role of Padme Amidala in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

That was followed in 2004 by starring roles in the successful independent movies Garden State and Closer, winning a Supporting Actress Golden Globe for her role as Alice in Closer. She was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the same role.
Portman shaved her head for the film adaption of Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, set for release in early 2006. In it she plays Evey Hammond, the young female who is saved from the secret police by the main character, V.
