Natalie Portman Portrait
Portman started taking dancing lessons
at the age of four, performed in local troupes, and dreamed of dancing on
Broadway. At the age of twelve Portman was discovered in a pizza parlor by
an agent for Revlon, who offered her an opportunity to model. She asked to
be introduced to acting talent scouts, and took "Portman", her
grandmother's maiden name, as her professional stage surname.
Her inaugural experience in professional theater led her to audition
for Luc Besson's 1994 film Léon (aka The Professional). Soon after
Portman was given the part, she took Portman as her stage name in the interest
of privacy. In the film, Portman plays an orphaned girl who befriends a much
older assassin. Léon opened on November 18, 1994 and marked her feature
film debut at age twelve.
After filming Where the Heart Is, Portman
moved into the dorms of Harvard to pursue her bachelor's degree
in psychology. She graduated in 2003.
Attack of the Clones was filmed in Sydney during this time, including
additional production in London.
In 2002, Attack of the Clones opened around the world. Portman
was cast in a small role in the film Cold Mountain alongside Jude Law and
Nicole Kidman. In 2004, Portman had starring roles in the independent movies
Garden State and Closer. Garden State was an official selection of the Sundance
Film Festival and won Best First Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards.
Her role of Alice in Closer saw Portman win a Supporting Actress Golden Globe
as well as a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

"Enjoy. I really like to share! I like kittens
too! Especially the Chihuahua kind.
Hey, why don't you buy some of my perfume! If you use it, you'll
smell
like a dozen men, just like me!
Well, I got to go and stand around so people can take pictures
of me. Bye!"
Once when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that was very bad.
Love is for unlucky folk.
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.
— Dorothy Parker

Words can sometimes,
in moments of grace,
attain the quality of deeds.
Pumpkin Head — Hugo Chavez, Dictator of Venezuela
On May 28th, the government of Venezuela
shut down that nation's most popular TV station by not renewing RCTV’s
broadcast license. Two days before the shutdown, the government seized RCTV’s
property on the pretext that it was needed for the new channel that would
replace RCTV. Immediately upon shutting down RCTV, the government began to
threaten the broadcast license of Globovision, an all-news channel critical
of the government. Thank you for visiting this site, a project of the Human
Rights Foundation. It is now a site devoted to the protection of freedom
of expression and will serve to memorialize the shutdown of RCTV. We invite
you to raise your voice against censorship!

A kiss is a lovely trick
designed by nature to stop speech
when words become superfluous.
