OlderNatalie Portman “NYT” Style Magazine
Natalie Portman is absolutely stunning in NYT Style Magazine’s latest cover feature. Here are some interesting interview snippets:
You had a kind of precocious child-woman quality in that film that elicited a ‘‘Lolita’’-esque response. Was that unnerving? Yes. One scene was uncomfortable: when I try to kiss Jean Reno. He was, obviously, much older. And around that time, there was the scene in ‘‘Interview With the Vampire’’ when Kirsten Dunst, who was around my age, kissed Brad Pitt. There were articles about young girls in adult roles, and my family ran away from anything that was ‘‘Lolita’’-esque. And then, of course, they offered me ‘‘Lolita’’ itself. That was the ultimate no.
Did it have anything to do with playing Anne Frank on Broadway? For many Jews, especially those who have experienced the Holocaust, Israel represents a place of refuge and acceptance. Perhaps. I was 16 when I played Anne Frank. It was tough: I went to high school full time. I was studying for my A.P. tests and my SATs while I was performing eight times a week. The audience reaction, night after night, was really moving. During ‘‘Anne Frank,’’ I really began to understand what Gertrude Stein meant about the power of repetition. Hearing words over and over increases their meaning and their impact.

SHE’S GORGEOUS AND TALENTED, YOU CAN BE BOTH YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s perfect, flawless.
Wow. That cover is amazing.
She’s stunning!
What a stunning photoshoot! I really can’t understand how some people here find the photos overly retouched; while I won’t deny they have been, I would like to argue the photos have been touched up quite nicely. Certainly, the photoshopping wasn’t the first thing I paid attention to when I saw them! Personally, I love the close-ups of Natalie’s exquisitely beautiful face, they really showcase her flawless bone structure! And the lighting is extraordinary! The 1st and 3rd photos are my favorite of the set.
I would also like to take issue with those here who argue Natalie is a mediocre actress. Being a gifted actress isn’t about your ability to choose your roles with care; if this were the case, there would hardly be any “gifted” actors in Hollywood, now would there? Surely, being able to choose the right roles is a part of being a gifted businessman (or, as in this case, -woman), but it has certainly nothing to do with acting talent. Personally, more than anything else, I think acting talent is measured by your range; your ability to pull off a variety of roles in a variety of genres with conviction.
By that measure, I think Natalie is one of the most gifted actresses in Hollywood. Having seen most of Natalie’s films (indeed, all, except her as of yet unreleased work + Everyone Says I Love You, Domino One, Free Zone and Developing), I will admit her role as Padmé in the new Star Wars prequels was not her strongest performance, but all actors have their “less” prominent roles. However, regardless of Star Wars, if you think back at her past films, you will realize she has pulled off a number of roles of admirable variety with flying colors; film genres she has taken upon herself include drama, action, sci-fi, comedy, romance and kids’ films.
Damn she’s gorgeous.
so blah
Wow! Very cool photoshoot. The cover pic is the most stunning.
wow! She should be a model!!
✔ She’s so beautiful.
I like this photoshoot miss Portman looks damn good.
Gorgeous. Absolutely.
How is she overexposed? She’s done, like, 4 whole shoots. And she actually has something to promote: Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. Let’s totally ignore that she works for FINCA, and promoting that is far more important than any film. And I’m sorry but she was brassy as hell in My Blueberry Nights. Toss in her perfect turns in Hotel Chevalier, V for Vendetta, Closer, Garden State, Cold Mountain, The Seagull and Goya’s Ghosts? Love her.
Overexposed is Alba, Biel, Knightley, Johansson, Diaz, Witherspoon, Cruise, Rumer whatsherface, Panettiere. They’ll give interviews without having anything to promote, just angling for the publicity. They make everything as public as possible.
Wow, you guys all act like acting is something that can actually be measured; like you can go, he/she is a “good” or “bad” actor, and here’s the proof….It doesn’t work like that! It’s all totally subjective. Personal taste determines who you like and don’t like. If people don’t think Natalie is a good actress, they are entitled to their opinion, and they’re not “wrong,” they’re just stating their preference. I happen to like her but agree that she can be overrated at times, but if someone thinks she’s a bad actress, they have every right to say so and to hold that opinion.
I love you !!!-Kocham Cię !!!
She’s beautiful in those pics
nice pictures
Adorable and artistic pics of that especially lovely lady.
Her talent will be sure tasted and enjoyed in many
interesting movies to come.
