Natalie Portman is one of the most popular actresses of our time. Because of this she is a constant focus of the paparazzi, being harassed everywhere from airports to her home to vacation in Buenos Aires. Though Natalie Portman is known for her ability to keep cool and simply ignore and hide from the paparazzi, there have been a few incidents where this star has had enough of the constant stalking.

While in Buenos Aires on vacation in 2006, Natalie Portman became fed up with her paparazzi and lost it, showing that every person, no matter how calm, has a limit to his patience. Natalie was leaving an Inn where she had just learned that she had lost a lover when she was accosted by the paparazzi and reporters. Natalie tried to strike a camera out of one of the female reporter’s hands before being escorted into her car. This is an important lesson for everyone to learn: every celebrity, no matter how popular, has moments where he just needs to be left alone.

Since then Natalie has had a strictly hands off approach to the paparazzi. Doing her best to avoid them at all times, she hides from them constantly, whether in the LAX airport or in Israel. When Portman returned to her birthplace in West Jerusalem to study the Hebrew language, she was surprised by how harassed she was by reporters. Despite everything else occurring in the country, Portman was at the top of the reporters’ lists.

Natalie Portman, adored actress by all, has had many problems with a paparazzi team that just won’t quit.

Actors from all over the world are scouted for when it comes to the big name movies however these days it is a lot easier to get your hands on somebody that lives on the other side of the world. Back in the days of the original movie productions a man named Charlie Chapman left England for America to become a famous actor in black and white with no sound movies. Lucky for Charlie he made it to the big time because if he did not it would have been a long way to travel in the early 20th century. Natalie Portman is another famous actress who did not get selected from the usual American line up of celebrities which was a great new face to see in movies. While doing her final years in college she was asked to play the role of the Queen in the new generation Star Wars Trilogy which was a movie that made all of the actors more famous.

Natalie is an actress with routes to Israel which is where her parents originate from. Opting for the theatre rather than going on screen Natalie is a finely refined young woman with class and book smarts who makes many of the actresses in Hollywood look rather silly. At 28 years old she is still able to be a model if she chose to be not only because of her great looks but also because she is such a popular Hollywood celebrity these days. Her movies to date include Mars Attacks in 1996, Star Wars 1 in 1999, Where the Heart is in the year 2000, Zoolander in 2001, Star Wars 2 in 2002, Cold Mountain in 2003, Closer in 2004, Star Wars 3 in 2005 and the list goes on until 2011 which she is now starting a movie to be released on this date. Without so much as a full year off acting Natalie has started to get a number of roles being passed her way with producers of the latest movies hoping she will be in their next one.

Natalie Portman soon became famous around the time that the next Star Wars movies came out in the early 2000s’ it was George Lucas who made her into a princess who could control one of the more important characters of the movies which was really a very important role to play. While working on this latest Star Wars Trilogy Natalie was attending Harvard University doing her bachelor’s in Psychology. Now she is one of the more learned actresses in Hollywood however this is not something that will give her acting career any kind of boost. Natalie Portman was originally known as Natalie Hershlag which is a name that comes from her original routes in Israel. Her parents where humble and simple people however now her mother works as her agent and takes care of the bigger business. Most people except her devoted fans would know the fact that Portman is a vegetarian at heart and does not like the idea of killing innocent animals. She is an eager animal activist who will not wear any products that come from animals when they can be taken from the ground instead.

In 1996 she plays a part in the comedy hit movie Mars Attacks and then it is three year before we see her again in the 1999 first Star Wars episode called the Phantom Menace. During the next few years while she is working on the other Star Wars movies we see that she also has time to make a few other movies as well as attending Harvard College. In 2001 she plays a star role in Zoolander and then the next 3 years in 2004 she stars in the academy award winning Closer which was granted several awards as well as being nominated for many more.

Later in 2007 she appears in the children’s movie Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium which is still a big success in DVD sales for kids.

Natalie has not only become a well respected actress but she is also becoming an instant celebrity and wanted model for many products and commercials that marketers can use her for. She has a unique look which is one that can honestly be said is different to most if not all of the other actresses in Hollywood which is one of the reasons that Natalie has such a big fan base and is also offered many roles in movies and alike. Once Natalie Portman was released to the world there was nothing stopping her from making it to the top in a very big way especially as the stardom momentum took her that little step further.

The day that Natalie shaved her head and came to the awards night with her unbelievably short hair cut more people fell in love with the all American cutie just because she looked absolutely sexy. One of her best features her eyes were now the very heart of her facial features which lit up every room that Natalie entered into with a smile. It is those eyes together with her acting skills which put Natalie in a class of her own all because with one adoring, scared, happy or any other look you can tell what she if thinking and therefore what is going on with her role. Like many other actors before her, Natalie has found her niche that makes her unique from the rest of the crowd which is a great start to any career whether that be acting or just being an international celebrity.
