OlderNatalie Portman Columbia
[Columbia student BWOG chimes in with] a sampling of the truths Ms. Portman imparted in the 20-minute Q&A session following a somber Frontline documentary on Al Qaeda, Guantanamo and the CIA’s counterterrorism tactics:
- "My immediate reaction is that torture is wrong."
- "I don’t think it’s right to take down the Twin Towers."
- "Censorship is bad."
New York City, NY :: Harvard University alumni Natalie Portman, 24, made a guest appearance yesterday afternoon to Professor Stuart Gottlieb’s "Terrorism and Counterterrorism" class at Columbia University (702 Hamilton Hall) in promotion for her latest flick, V for Vendetta, opening next Friday, March 17. In V for Vendetta, Natalie Portman plays the character of Evey Hammond, a staunch ally to vigilante freedom fighter V (Hugo Weaving), who battles facism in a futuristic totalitarian society. This guest lecture event was organized and produced by MTV-U, MTV’s college-focused subsidiary telvision network. Thanks, Audrey. More pictures in the gallery including some high-definition screen captures and collages of Natalie Portman hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend! And just ’cause, here’s a funny promo commerical quote — "Hi, I’m Natalie Portman and I’ll be hosting SNL tomorrow with musical guest Fallout Boy. Oooh, it’s Oscar Week and they got everyone at NBC gift bags. [Takes Cheese Whiz out of gold bag] Mmm, spray cheese!"

She looks great! I love the fact that she’s one of the few celebs that actually went for her college degree. Smart women are hot!
She’samazing! I love it that she’s well aware of what’s going on in the world now and not not just the fashion trend coming out. I guess when people know you, you have the responsibility to inform them and let tem het involve in their own little way.
I LOVE HER… SHE’S SO SMART AND PRETTY AND INTELLIGENT AS WELL.. NOT LIKE U KNOW WHO, "THAT’S HOT"
Who cares what natalie portman thinks about real issues. I want her to talk about how bad ass making the movie "Heat" was..
Those quotes make her sound like some sort of inarticulate ******. "Censorship is bad!" Is she 12? Also, she looks divine in the SNL stills. Just gorgeous. Probably the most I’ve ever seen her look like Audrey Hepburn.
She’s awesome. I can’t wait to see V for Vendetta.
I didn’t know she was here! LoL, I hear more about our school by reading your website than I do by being here.
