An actress with a talent and poise beyond her years,
Natalie Portman
has established herself as one of Hollywood's most talented and sought after
young actresses. Her acting is fantastic in alsmost every film, from Leon to
Anywhere But Here to Closer. Aside from acting, she's intelligent, with a four
year degree in psychology from Harvard (and her participation as an important
character in V for Vendetta, and willingness to shave her head for the film, are
also tributes to her intellect), and she's compassionate, made evident by her
participation in the banking campaign in South America directed towards helping
women be independent by loaning money allowing them to start their own
businesses.
