Did You Know? – Natalie Portman Filmography

Natalie Portman made her iconic cinematic debut at just 12 years old as Mathilda in Léon: The Professional. She underwent rigorous, highly disciplined ballet training for up to eight hours a day to prepare for her Oscar-winning role in Black Swan. The actress fully committed to her role as Evey Hammond in V for Vendetta by having her head completely shaved on camera in a single take. She is one of the few actors to achieve major success across massive blockbuster franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor) while simultaneously earning critical acclaim in deep indie films.
