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.
