Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is a beautiful Jewish actress who is best known for her performances in The Star Wars Trilogy, Garden State, and V for Vendetta. She is also a Harvard graduate, which means she’s smart enough to realize she is way out of your league. Voted #15 in the AskMen.com's Top 99 Women 2008 Edition.

Natalie got her start in the business when a talent agent discovered her at a pizza parlor. Soon after she landed the role as the young girl Mathilda in the action movie The Professional. Critics raved about the young actress’s debut and Natalie quickly found work to sharpen her talents as an actress.

In the mid nineties she starred in such films as Beautiful Girls (also starring Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino and Lauren Holly), Mars Attacks, and Anywhere But Here (starring Susan Sarandon). As Natalie became older, if only slightly developed, she was encouraged to do nude and sex scenes. She played a stripper Closer, but the audience saw nothing more than her butt in a thong and a partial, teasing side view. Finally, in the Wes Anderson short film Hotel Chevalier, Natalie provided a more revealing look at her butt, although for some reason she appeared bruised (apparently makeup).

In 1998 she starred as Queen Amidala in the film Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (Keira Knightley played her impersonator.). The film became the highest grossing film of the year and secured Natalie’s position as a prominent actress in Hollywood. But that same year Natalie announced she was taking a break from acting (aside from the Star Wars Trilogy) so she could focus on getting her college degree at Harvard. Natalie graduated in 2003 and after finishing the Stars Wars trilogy, starred in the films Garden State and Closer (also starring Julia Roberts). In 2005 she starred in V For Vendetta. In this film she had her head shaved in a scene.

Natalie won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards for her role in Black Swan. She also won a 2011 SAG Award for Female Lead Actor in Motion Picture for her role in the film Black Swan. The film Black Swan also won Natalie a 2011 Oscar for Best Actress.
