The scene shows Natalie Portman having her hair shaved off and was filmed in a single take, according to contactmusic.com.

“It was a one-shot deal, and that was the most stressful thing about the experience,” said Oscar-nominated Natalie Portman, 24.

Director James McTeigue said: “The first time I saw her [Natalie Portman] about the role, I had her put her hair behind her head because I wanted to see what she looked like bald.

Star Wars Natalie Portman

Filed under: Misc, Natalie Portman, Movies, News — by admin @ 10:30 pm March 15, 2006

An actress with a talent beyond her years, Natalie Portman has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most talented and sought after young actresses.
She was born in Jerusalem, Israel, to her artist (housewife) mother and fertility specialist father (per Letterman Interview), Portman caught the acting bug after her parents relocated to New York during her childhood. An agent contacted Portman at age 11 and she quickly earned plum acting roles on stage and in film.

Portman made her Broadway debut run in the title role of The Diary of Anne Frank. Directed by Star Wars Natalie PortmanJames Lapine and adapted by Wendy Kesselman, the production took a fresh look at the play, incorporating new material from The 1995 Definitive Edition of Anne Frank’s diaries.

But she received international acclaim for her feature debut in Luc Besson’s The Professional. Starring opposite Jean Reno and Gary Oldman, Portman plays Mathilde, a young girl who seeks refuge from a hitman after her parents are killed by a corrupt DEA officer. Her performance was hailed by critics and she received a “Best Actress in a Drama” for The Hollywood Reporter-sponsored YoungStar Awards.

Portman continued to impress audiences with her movie-stealing performance in the Miramax film, Beautiful Girls (1996). Directed by the late Ted Demme, the bittersweet comedy also starred Timothy Hutton, Uma Thurman, Rosie O’Donnell, and Matt Dillon.

Other feature credits soon followed for Portman including Michael Mann’s Heat (1995), Woody Allen musical Everyone Says I Love You (1996), and Tim Burton’s black comedy called Mars Attacks! (1996).

Next Portman would become famous worldwide in her role as Padme Amidala in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which she would continue throughout the prequels — Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (2005).

Other notable film credits include Anywhere But Here (1999), Where the Heart Is (2000), Cold Mountain (2003), Garden State (2004) and Closer (2004) — which earned her an Oscar nomination.

In addition to her acting accolades, Portman graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Harvard University in 2003.

Natalie Portman From Girl Next Door To Next Big Thing

Natalie Portman - From Girl Next Door To Next Big Thing
It’s midnight in Paris and Natalie Portman has just come off the set…
Q: What can you tell us about this new Woody Allen movie you’re working on?
A: Nothing! I’m not allowed to say anything about it. I can only tell you who’s in it: Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, Gaby Hoffman, Tracey Ullman, Woody’s in it…it’s a huge cast.

Q: Right, Woody Allen’s always very secretive about his films. But can you at least tell us how it’s going?
A: It’s really fun because this is the first movie I’ve done with other kids, so we all hang out together - we go to the movies and stuff.

Q: Do you have to miss out on a lot of “normal kid stuff” because of your work?
A: A lot of people who get into an adult world when they’re still really young tend to stop doing all the things they used to do. They forget about school and any extension of themselves outside their career. But I love what I’m doing because I get the best of both worlds. I get to be in this adult business and meet all these cool people, but at the same time, I get to be in school with real people and hang out. I don’t do that many movies, I’m in school a lot - and I do that on purpose: I turn down a lot of stuff because of school. I mean, acting is my extra-curricular activity. My friends do soccer or basketball, and I act.
