Natalie Portman Says Women Are Marginalised In Hollywood

... from Harvard University. At her press conference for Jackie, for which she’s a front runner in the Oscar race, the 35-year-old is notably pregnant, quietly subdued as if still playing the famous icon. In the past, she had set boundaries, refusing to discuss her relationship with Gael Garcia Bernal, whom she was dating. “I’m sorry I don’t discuss my private life at all. I like reading about other people’s lives, but I won’t talk about mine,” she said. So, of course, she won’t talk about her storybook romance with her Black Swan choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, whom she married in 2012. I remember the first time I interviewed her, she was only 14 but remarkably precocious. I knew New York Jewish girls are supposed to mature early, but Portman was off the charts. She answered questions with more sophistication than her much older Beautiful Girls co-stars Tim Hutton and Matt Dillon. How has motherhood changed you as an actress. Well, it changes your life in a very meaningful way, but as an artist it’s important that the time you spend away from your family is spent with purpose. My husband has the same feeling. ...

Natalie Portman Gives Birth To Baby Girl

... seems she already had a big prize – her baby daughter. Natalie confirmed her second pregnancy during an appearance on U. S. TV show The Tonight Show in November (16), two months after sporting what appeared to be a baby belly at the Venice Film Festival in September (16). She later admitted she had hoped no one would notice she was pregnant on the red carpet: “I thought I was gonna be able to hide it a little longer and then we got there and I was like, ‘It’s not hide-able any more… The stomach wants to be out…'”. Notoriously private, the actress has kept the baby details to herself, but during a recent appearance on. The Ellen De Generes Show in the U. S., Natalie opened up, admitting hitting red carpets while pregnant is not fun. “It does make you look forward to the day when you can just have your own body on the red carpet,” the actress laughed, before chatting about her cravings. “With Aleph it was very (different)…,” she said. “I wanted cream puffs, anything dessert with cream in it, or just plain cream straight.

Natalie Portman Is Absolutely Terrific In ‘jackie

... away the standard-issue drama surrounding Nov. 22, 1963, and replaced it with a concentration on Jackie’s emotional unraveling. One thing’s for sure, “Jackie” is less of a standard biopic and more of an elegy. Larrain’s gorgeously grim and austere vision bolsters a bravura performance from Natalie Portman in the title role. She inhabits Jackie as a woman who has been shaken to her core with grief but refuses to crumble completely as she struggles to protect her children, the myth of Camelot and her sanity. As written by Noah Oppenheim — best-known for the less emotionally grueling, young-adult “Maze Runner” and “Allegiant” screenplays — “Jackie” is constructed around two conversations. One is an interview with a journalist (Billy Crudup) and the other is a talk with a priest (John Hurt), while interspersed are her memories of the hours and days immediately following her husband’s assassination. While Portman is unmistakably the star, the rest ...
