Star by the name of Natalie
Natalie sat on the terrace, watching in the descending dusk gradually melt the outlines of riparian trees. The vast expanse of the ocean, bewitching incomprehensible power and beauty, was away in the far distance, where there is no hustle, no bustle of the set, no prying eyes of the crowd and annoying paparazzi cameras. A light breeze was barely touched her face, slid hair. "I wish to stay here a day or two, a week. " - she had dreamed of, absently fingering the petals of a flower in a small vase on the table. Suddenly his legs felt soft touch, she almost jumped from surprise. And the next moment was pressed to his shaggy face, trying to lick her right on the lips. "Charlie, buddy! You're right, dear, it is time to dine and. to collect things: Yes, tomorrow we will leave. Shooting, you know? " - Natalie patted pet and lowered to the ground, heading into the house. The dog, offended scampered next. And she last looked around, as though trying to remember the scent of freshness and quiet charm that surrounds her in this little bubble, built on one of the streets of long island, who crouched on the coast of the Atlantic ocean, away from the gray skyscrapers and the eternal bustle of the big city. "I love this, " she confessed in an interview. In addition, it improves the quality of my work: I need to offer something really worthwhile to get to leave the house, leaving friends, dog. " But the chief charm of this place was, perhaps, that not far from her childhood years are the same, carefree, when in the life of the young lady has not yet entered world is full of temptations movie. "Yes, mother, of course, suitcase Packed. No, I don't forget: took a Golden dress and shoes with heels. Machine tomorrow at nine in the morning. I remember that you will be waiting for us at the gate. Don't worry and say daddy good night, the girl hung up the phone and sat on the edge of the sofa in the middle of the small living room, where in the mess were scattered prepared in the way things. Looking around everything that needs to be put in the bulk case, Natalie suddenly noticed a gray velvet mouse who was hiding in the corner chair, stretched towards small paws. "How could I leave him?! "she thought, hiding a toy at the bottom. But with him were associated the earliest memories: funny animal appeared in the house on her second birthday, back in Jerusalem, where 9 June 1981 born NAT. Now the girl was hardly remember the time when I lived in Israel, but have always loved this country. And when in his father's house were going to have guests, it is with pleasure once again listening to stories about how the Promised Land met her parents, Avner Hershlag, Shelli Stevens.
Natalie stood up, walked across the room, turned the light on: the day is long gone, and in the twilight of a summer night it was difficult to distinguish the objects. At the bottom of the suitcase carefully lay the same Golden dress and a few more - just in case: surely she would have to give an interview, answering endless questions of journalists, smile, feigning joy, at a press conference dedicated to the start of filming. "Well, it's the cost of my profession, " said Natalie, stacking another thing. But someday everything will end, and then I am back in my little house - we just have to wait a little". And thought again back in the days when it was possible to live without thinking about what I will write about it in the morning press - in short, be yourself.
NAT was only three years old, when his father - a doctor, a specialist in female infertility has received a proposal to expand your business and move to America. So their little family was first in Washington and then finally settled in the bustling new York. By the time Natalie had turned nine, and she, replacing another school, diligently undertook the study at the new location. Her mother, an artist by education, married, devoted to her husband and only daughter, the fate of which he hoped to see the realization of all their untapped talents. Probably that's why four years Natalie regularly attended a dance Studio and classes in figure skating. And at the elite school, except for math and English, diligently studied Japanese and French, and was fluent in Hebrew. "Surprisingly, I don't even remember whether I have friends in that time. Perhaps up to twelve years just wasn't anything interesting," remarked it. However, the event that caused her to overestimate the treatment of some of the things that happened when she was only eight: one day she went with her father at the medical conference, which demonstrated the achievements of laser surgery. As a test turned out to be chicken. "I think at that moment I realized that the animals we eat were first killed, and refused meat. At first my parents thought this was just a whim," said later Natalie. However, it soon became convinced that their child is not only very sensitive, but firm in his convictions. A few years later Natalie was removed from their diet of fish, cheese and foods that contain gelatin. To convince her could not even scientific arguments beloved father-Medica. "Daddy, but they suffer just as we are, don't you understand?! "said the daughter, looking at Dr. Avner eyes full of tears. And he gave up in the end, it is not so wrong. It was probably the first small victory that NAT young won in the struggle for the right to do as he wishes. The next step proved to be much more decisive, because at stake, as it turned out later, was delivered to its future. However, answering no to the tempting offer of the representative of a large company, Natalie, which at that time was barely eleven, didn't know.
Another one of a kind Portman
The girl carefully reviewed pending things looked in the closet. "How still it is good that I was able to create a production line nekoranec shoes! - she smiled, packaging next couple of fine shoes. Of course, vegetarian beliefs create some inconvenience on the set, but not me, and dressers: it is not easy to find faux fur, which would give the luxury Royal attire". But she used to be "like everyone else". Even in childhood she was teased by zubelli for what NAT, unlike my classmates, I sincerely loved school. Perhaps that is why Natalie had always preferred the company of peers Association of parents, who supported her in all endeavors and no doubt believed that their daughter will be glorified. And soon for this opportunity arose. One day when Natalie's father went to the pizzeria, approached the young man, posing as a casting Manager for a reputable modeling Agency, invited her to try yourself as a model for advertising products company Revlon. "No, " she replied, with great intrepidity, " I'm only an actress". And although the man was expecting a different reaction, he persuaded Mr. Hershlag and his little daughter to think about. But at the same time promised to put its data in the directory acting Agency. Although advertising Natalie starred for herself she decided it was not for her. Going to the movies is another matter: if you saw one film "Dirty dancing" with Patrick Swayze, Natalie, by his own admission, fell in love with the picture and the actor that I decided to meet him. The only way to realize the dream, it seemed, was to become his colleague.
Since then it has been almost a year. Once, when NAT was going to school, the apartment phone rang.
- Hello. Tell me, lives here Natalie Hershlag? "asked an unfamiliar female voice.
- Natalie listen to you, " she said.
- Wonderful! We want to invite you to the casting in the movie. But if I can coordinate it with your parents? asked the lady.
Be in her place another, she would be delighted swirled around the room, begging only that fortune was favourable. And Natalie, passing the tube mother, went to classes, and only returning home, found out today she is looking forward to audition for the role of the heroine in the film some of Luc Besson. And although she later said many times, though always wanted to act in films, now in the depths of the soul NAT knew my childhood was over the same day, when the Sunroof is approved for the role of Mathilda Lando in the movie "Leon-killer". As it turned out, for both it was a real endurance test. The girl learned to live in difficult shooting mode, when in the breaks between scenes she had to catch up on the school curriculum, and Besson - to humble his directorial ambitions, giving the stringent requirements of parents. At their insistence, he not only removed all the scenes involving violence, but did Matilda more chaste than it was planned earlier. By the way, the script, the girl must have been fifteen, but seeing young Hershlag, Luke realized that the game will be only it. However, when the film appeared in the car, in the credits appeared a completely different name. According to family legend, parents, fearing that the film would be "not up to par, but he insisted that was specified alias daughters "Portman". So supposedly was the name of one of the grandmothers. Their concerns were unfounded: after painting the young actress became known as the new Audrey Hepburn. And not by chance: after a few years favorite fashion designer actress Isaac Mizrahi notice: "If Audrey Hepburn gave birth to Gregory Peck child in "Roman holiday", he would look exactly like Natalie Portman". However, a sudden inrush of glory had another side: "After the role of Matilda pedophiles bombarded me with letters. I literally became the dream of every one of them! "with disgust remembered NAT. While reviewing the tape years later, concluded: "This girl on the screen is very similar to that what I can remember. Arrogant, quick-witted, sometimes childishly humorous, sometimes serious, a little intemperate. In any case, to purchase such an experience at the age of thirteen was useful". However, the father of Natalie made a different conclusion, becoming the strict censor all incoming scripts and sending them packets in the bin. But the special indignation family was summoned shortly thereafter the proposal of Adrian Lyne to play in the film adaptation of Nabokov's "Lolita". "Shoot and fight on the screen isn't something overtly sexual content "Lolita", - reasoned parents, and NAT and not argue. Later they also strongly rejected the offer to play the role in the movie "Romeo Juliet". "First, there were too explicit, and secondly, I think I would look ridiculous with Leonardo DiCaprio, who is much older than me", " the girl replied in a puzzled "Why?! ". But, without hesitation, agreed to become Queen Amidala - the future mother of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, having George Lucas that. 't seen previous episodes of his "Star wars".
NAT smiled at silver helmet left on the memory of the picture. "But how time flies! ""asked she, looking at his watch.
Girl one hundred
"Oh, Charlie, you never learned to submit a paw! "she chided the dog that kept coming back to him at the feet of. But his mistress as she can remember, she studied with the zeal of a true fanatic. Needless to say that her classes were never interrupted for work in another painting, and consent to the shooting was given only on the condition that they will not interfere with training? The parents ' position is fully consistent with the desire for Natalie to get an excellent education. As a result of its school cited the example: on the final exams young movie star scored 99 points out of 100 possible! "If I brought home a school-leaving certificate with overall score of 94, I should ask, where are the other six? " - without a trace of irony, said the student Portman. In 1999, she just as easily entered Harvard University at the faculty of psychology, for which for four years has dropped out of the film-making process. After all, caring mom and dad insisted that she continued to work in film, only to receive a higher education diploma. And Natalie has always been an obedient girl. "Aren't you afraid that you will forget? "asked the actress. "I don't care if Harvard will destroy my career, " she answered. - It is better to be smart than a movie star. I think that the profession of psychologist is very close to acting. And those and others studying the effects of various events and circumstances in a person's life," said Portman. Exception Hershlag-Portman made only theatre: for several years she played the role of Anna in the Broadway production of "the Diary of Anne Frank". This book she was advised to read father. "I bought a copy of "Diary" and was so immersed in her letters that cried all the next week until I finished reading. "Diary" is the story of thirteen year old girls. She died during the war. This is the most honest book I have ever read" - it was recognized. By the way, it was there, on Broadway, NAT met with another rising star - Britney Spears. However, the parents of the latter was not so vigilant, and the way girls are soon parted. Unlike Spears, which, incidentally, was born in the same 1981, Natalie is not only back in the movie, a chartered psychologist, and has worked as an assistant of one of the largest specialists in criminal law in the United States attorney Alan Dershowitz. "Portman is not one of those Hollywood stars, listen to the opinions which, just because they are famous. It is worth listening to out of respect for her knowledge, skills and experience," no doubt the chef. His opinion will likely agree and most of the fans of Natalie advised idol to vote for in the upcoming presidential election for former first lady Hillary Clinton. Because Portman, which is one of his Hobbies calls policy, said: "Clinton is very smart, maybe the most intelligent of all candidates. It would just be cool to have a female President. I'd like to be sure that it is still a good person - then it will be the best choice for women.
Beauty in the Nude
Her suitcase was almost assembled, had to pack a few favorite shirts. Blouse with a deep neckline she resolutely put aside: despite the fact that filming will be delayed until mid-July and the weather will probably be hot, Natalie could not afford to flaunt in revealing costumes - not as she raised. Yes, and mom, of course, would be against. No wonder Natalie always expressly disclaims any scenes that require to be Nude in front of the camera. The main argument, which leads the girl sounds quite convincingly: "I do like fundamentality in such matters, though I cannot be called a hypocrite: I think sex is very important part of life, and nudity is our natural state. But to be Nude on screen - just not mine, but I never do what is contrary to my nature. Additionally, these pictures can then be used with various illegal purposes". "But, Natalie, - are undaunted Directors, because we modern people, and erotica on the screen can look very aesthetically. " - "I'm not going to do anything that can make me uncomfortable in everyday life. Don't want to go down the street and guess who of passers-by saw my chest! "is she parries, managed to play a stripper in "Proximity" Mike Nichols, avoiding spicy scenes. But this does not stop "dressed" Natalie to get a Golden globe and a nomination for "Oscar". However, NAT starred in the film, which I was very pleased with her admirers, and the authors were allowed to raise a glass to toast the victory. And now Natalie in the Nude can be seen in the short film about love "Hotel Chevalier" directed Weight of Anderson, which was immediately dubbed "naked debut actress. Itself Portman commented on his sudden determination: "I think it was beautiful, tasteful. And I love the brevity. Besides, it didn't look as full nudity". In this sense, the Director miloš Forman less fortunate: in his "Goya's Ghosts" NAT insisted that naked body instead demonstrated a stand-in actress. Good work in the acclaimed historical drama "Another kind Boleyn" not demanded that girl Natalie similar victims. The same scripturam who did not agree to its terms, Portman just said, "No! ". "I'm never afraid to refuse roles," proudly declares it. And never loses because the woman who is able to create intrigue, especially attractive.
"Everyone says I love you"
The night was coming to an end. Charlie was stretching himself sleepily, lying on your favourite chair by the window. "You're my best friend! - Natalie put a hand on his warm back. - And why do we in the house of strangers, right? "Charlie, in a sign the full agreement, licked a little knob Natalie.
Perhaps this item life plan, NAT was the only one in which the opinion of the parents was completely different from belief to his daughter, and Avner and Shelley would be happy to walk on the daughter's wedding, and then with pleasure was busy with the baby - exact copy of their adorable girls. Only Natalie is in no hurry to give them a grandchild. The point here is not that the hand and heart girls-beauties Portman no of candidates: the most likely cause in most Natalie. "I don't want to get married, " she says. - Divorce has become so commonplace that marriage has lost its value and sacredness". If you believe the words of the ubiquitous paparazzi, up to 20 years the girl was a young man that gave rise to wit dubbed it "the last virgin Hollywood". One time there was talk about her non-traditional sexual orientation. And competent professionals argued: there is the Oedipus complex - she's too attached to her father. However, it then began to appear rumors: NAT meets with the student of the medical faculty. But it later emerged that this was not love, but an innocent friendship. In any case, all novels capricious stars can be counted on the fingers. Among its official Boyfriends name actors Gaalema Garcia Bernal, Jake of Gyllenhal, Lukas Haas and even British multimillionaire NAT Rothschild. By the way, financier Rothschild, whose fortune is estimated at about 500 million pounds, was considered a potential suitor beauties Portman. But the efforts of the Net, not Galileo funds to create a romantic date with Natalie, failed.
And in September 2007, representatives of the press excitedly wrote that Portman returned to his former beloved British designer Nathan Bogle: a couple seen peacefully strolling in Central Park in new York, and then to compete in the US Open tennis. About Bogle, only little is known, for example, that he developed his own line of clothing and some time was the face of the Fashion house Rag Bone that his current career model is not very successful, and his best friend partner Portman believes Hollywood actor Jude law. How will develop their relationship is hard to judge because the Nut is too unpredictable, and no one can know in advance what role she'll take Nathan it has created the world. It remains to take the only thing that the movie has recently stated in the press: "In my life, a new man". For secretive Natalie Portman, which is always jealously guard their privacy from prying, it's not just words. In any case, it still will do as you tell her heart, because this girl used to live by their rules.
