Early life

Natalie Hershlag[4][5]was born on June 9, 1981, inJerusalem,to Jewish parents with roots inPoland,Russia,Austria,andRomania.[6][7][8][9][10]She is the only child of Shelley Stevens, an Ohio-born artist, and Avner Hershlag, anIsraeli-borngynecologist.[11]Her maternal grandparents wereAmerican Jews,whereas her paternal grandparents wereJewish immigrantsto Israel.[12][8][13]Portman is a dual citizen of Israel and the United States.[14][15][16]

Portman and her family first lived in Washington, D.C., but relocated toConnecticutin 1988 and then moved toLong Island[17]in 1990.[18][19]While living in Washington, Portman attendedCharles E. Smith Jewish Day SchoolinRockville, Maryland.[8]Her native language isHebrew.[7]While living on Long Island, she attended a Jewish elementary school, theSolomon Schechter Day School of Nassau County.[17]She studied ballet and modern dance at the American Theater Dance Workshop, and regularly attended theUsdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts.[17]Describing her early life, Portman has said that she was "different from the other kids. I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked very hard. I was a very serious kid."[20]

When Portman was ten years old, aRevlonagent spotted her at a pizza restaurant and asked her to become a child model.[21]She turned down the offer but used the opportunity to get an acting agent.[22][23]She auditioned for the 1992off-BroadwayRuthless!,a musical about a girl who is prepared to commit murder to get the lead in a school play.[24]Portman andBritney Spearswere chosen asunderstudiesfor starLaura Bell Bundy.[25]

Career

1994–1998: Early work

Six months afterRuthless!ended, Hershlag auditioned for and secured a leading role inLuc Besson's action dramaLéon: The Professional(1994).[23]She adopted her paternal grandmother's maiden name, Portman, as her stage name.[7][26][27]She played Mathilda, an orphan child who befriends a middle-aged hitman (played byJean Reno). Her parents were reluctant to let her do the part due to the explicit sexual and violent nature of the script, but agreed after Besson took out the Mathilda character's nudity and killings that she committed.[28]Portman herself said that after those scenes were removed, she found nothing objectionable about the content.[29]Even so, her mother was displeased with some of the "sexual twists and turns" in the finished film, which were not part of the script.[21]Hal HinsonofThe Washington Postcommended Portman for bringing a "genuine sense of tragedy" to her part, but Peter Rainer of theLos Angeles Timesbelieved that she wasn't "enough of an actress to unfold Mathilda's pain" and criticized Besson's sexualization of her character.[30][31]

"[T]here's a surprising preponderance of that kind of role for young girls. Sort of being fantasy objects for men, and especially this idealised purity combined with the fertility of youth, and all this in one.... It was definitely interesting to think about – why men write the female characters they do. Just like the way they write the male character. How much is wish-fulfilment fantasy, and why."

—Portman on playing sexualized youngsters as a child, 2007[32]

After filmingThe Professional,Portman went back to school and during the summer break of 1994, she filmed a part inMarya Cohn's short filmDeveloping.In it she played a young girl coping with her mother's (played byFrances Conroy) cancer.[33]She also enrolled at theStagedoor Manorperforming arts camp, where she playedAnne Shirleyin a staging ofAnne of Green Gables.[34]Michael Mannoffered her the small part of the suicidal stepdaughter ofAl Pacino's character in the action filmHeat(1995) for her ability to portray dysfunction without hysteria.[35][36]Impressed by her performance inThe Professional,the directorTed Demmecast her as a precocious teenager who flirts with her much-older neighbor (played byTimothy Hutton) in the ensemble comedy-dramaBeautiful Girls(1996).[29]Janet MaslinofThe New York Timeswrote, "Portman, a budding knockout, is scene-stealingly good even in an overly showy role."[37]She subsequently went back to Stagedoor Manor to appear in a production of the musicalCabaret.[38]Also in 1996, Portman had brief roles inWoody Allen's musicalEveryone Says I Love YouandTim Burton's comic science fiction filmMars Attacks![39]

Portman was cast oppositeLeonardo DiCaprioinBaz Luhrmann'sRomeo + Juliet(1996), but she dropped out during rehearsals when studio executives found her too young for the role.[21]Luhrmann said "Natalie was amazing in the footage, but it was too much of a burden for her at that age".[40]She was also offeredAdrian Lyne'sLolita,based on thenovel of the same name,but she turned down the part due to its excessive sexual content.[21][29]She later bemoaned that her parts inThe ProfessionalandBeautiful Girlsprompted a series of offers to play a sexualized youngster, adding that it "dictated a lot of my choices afterwards 'cos it scared me... it made me reluctant to do sexy stuff".[32]

Portman instead signed on to star asAnne Frankin aBroadwayrevival ofThe Diary of Anne Frank,which was staged at theMusic Box Theatrefrom December 1997 to May 1998. In preparation, she twice visited theAnne Frank Housein Amsterdam and interacted withMiep Gies,who had preserved Anne's diary after the family was captured; she found a connection with Frank's story, given her own family's history with the Holocaust.[41][42]Reviewing the production forVariety,Greg Evans disliked her portrayal, which he thought had "little of the charm, budding genius or even brittle intelligence that the diary itself reveals".[43]Conversely,Ben Brantleyfound an "ineffable grace in her awkwardness".[44]The experience of performing the play was emotionally draining for her, as she attended high school during the day and performed at night; she wrote personal essays inTimeandSeventeenmagazines about her experience.[45]

She was shown a new draft, and decided to accept the part.[18][57]Mary Elizabeth WilliamsofSaloncalled Portman's performance "astonishing" and added that "unlike any number of actresses her age, she's neither too maudlin nor too plucky".[58]She received aGolden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actressnomination for it.[59]
