Natalie Portman | Born 1981

Natalie Portman has established herself as a bona fide actress today which has always been her dream growing up. The actress started out when she was just 12 years old in the film Leon: The Professional, where she was noticed for her acting. She followed this up with Star Wars trilogy, which received harsh criticism. Fortunately, she was able to redeem herself with the film Cold Mountain.

The actress took a break from her career to focus on her studies. She earned her degree in psychology from Harvard before rekindling her acting career. Aside from taking on more roles, Portman was also nominated and eventually won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in Black Swan. Aside from that, she also got to meet her now-husband, Benjamin Millepied, while on the set. It seems that the actress has gained more from the movie than an award
