heavenly star alright, alright. I jumped the shark.

Yeah, the editors paid ‘Closer’ dust. 😞 It’s especially odd because of how much that film meant to her, and her relationship with Mike Nichols. It was also her first Oscar nomination. And nothing at all for ‘Annihilation’? 😞

[@Psyfoob]

All that aside, Natalegend’s career is only getting better and even more varied and interesting. I still can’t believe ‘Léon: The Professional’ was her first film. Such a knockout performance! We stan a naturally gifted legend! 🙌🏽

Seriously, VF it's KZbin so there's no excuse to "Cut for time" here. Talk about all the movies and leave them all in. You're missing a lot of movies on a lot of these videos and it's kinda getting anoying.

The Professional is Luc Bessons masterpiece and one of the best movies I have ever seen. Many years ago it was absolutely stunned for me as I found out, that this magnificent film was her first movie role. What a career start! :) And so glad that they mentioned Garden State. I love this film so much!

[@gorgon2385]

She is SO well spoken and intelligent. I'm so lucky to have grown up seeing her on the big screen.

Natalie Portman is a very great actress!! I remember when she was in a movie with Dustin Hoffman it was released back in 2007 it was called Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. Her and Dustin Hoffman both did great in that movie. I also remember when she is in a movie with Susan Sarandon it was called Anywhere But Here. That was another good movie also.

[@wishuponadream91]

I was hoping to hear her comments on Where the Heart Is and The Other Boleyn Girl. Did you just pick and choose the movies to ask her about, or did she speak on all of them and then you edited? I would love to see a Career Timeline with Mila Kunis!

She's a great actress,but she just seems to inflect too much of herself into her role. However,that being said,she is still a fairly versatile and quite expressive star and at least she bears trademarks by throwing in her own touches and inflections to embellish the characters according to her perception

The opening clip of Star Wars: Episode 1 was of Keira Knightly. It's been said the two looked so much alike after their makeup was finished, even their own mothers couldn't tell them apart.

[@lauraboiocchi4666]

No, that's Natalie. She swaps with Keira Knightley the scene before Obi-Wan and Qui-Gonn arrive. A way to tell them apart is that everytime "Padmé" is wearing black, that's Keira.
