Comments
Natalie Portman, the Academy Award-winning actress, director, and producer, added picture book author to her list of credits in October 2020 with the publication by Feiwel and Friends of “Natalie Portman’s Fables,” which compiles retellings of three classic animal tales with a more contemporary sensibility reflecting present-day values and the importance of empathizing with various points of view. Hence, in “The Tortoise and the Hare,” slick and confident Hare learns that bragging about one’s abilities does not translate into winning, a truth exemplified by patient and focused Tortoise. Two of the title characters of “The Three Little Pigs” build their ill-fated houses out of disposable plastic, but the third pig, whose house is made with Earth-friendly materials, survives the hungry Wolf. And after sampling one another’s lifestyles in “Country Mouse and City Mouse,” two mouse cousins conclude that there is no “right” way to live.
A far cry from an acting career that began at age 12 by starring as the young protégée of a hitman in the action drama film“Léon: The Professional” (1994), Portman would make her Broadway theatre debut in a 1998 production of “The Diary of a Young Girl” and gained international recognition for starring as Padmé Amidala in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999).” From 1999 to 2003, Portman attended Harvard University for a bachelor’s degree in psychology, while continuing to act in the Star Wars prequel trilogy (2002, 2005) and in The Public Theater’s 2001 revival of Anton Chekhov’s play The Seagull. In 2004,she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and won a Golden Globe Award for playing a mysterious stripper in the romantic drama Closer.
I personally first saw her in her role as Anne Boleyn in “The Other Boleyn Girl” (2008), which she followed up with an academy award winning performance as a troubled ballerina in the psychological horror film “Black Swan” (2010). She went on to star in the romantic comedy No Strings Attached (2011) and featured as Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero films Thor (2011), and Thor: The Dark World (2013), which established her among the best-paid actresses in the world. She has since portrayed Jacqueline Kennedy in the biopic Jackie (2016), gaining her third Academy Award nomination, and a biologist in the science fiction film “Annihilation” (2018).
