OlderNatalie Portman Buys A Castle… Ish
Natalie Portman just purchased this “rustic castle-like” historic estate in an exclusive, secluded enclave of LA, reports In Touch. “Natalie wanted a property that had character and integrity, something that was special,” says Richard Stanley, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in LA who specializes in architectural and historic properties.
“This house is perfect for her,” he says of the gorgeous 1930s-era home that the 28-year-old actress paid more than $3 million for. “It’s a beautiful home and truly is something special. It’s the trophy home of the neighborhood.”
It has four bedrooms and a private courtyard. It also includes two guest houses, perfect for visiting friends from back East, as well as her parents — her father, Avner, a fertility doctor, and her mother (and former agent), Shelley, to whom she credits much of her success. “If my career stops, if I do badly in a role or if one of my movies is a total failure, I know I’ll still have my parents. It helps me not to be afraid and to take risks,” Natalie says.
Although the home is located in a gated community of less than 100 residences, Natalie’s decision to leave her family, sell her trendy Manhattan condo (it fetched nearly $7 million last November) and move to LA surprised her friends. But for the actress and Harvard grad, the timing is perfect, as she’s now ready to take on Hollywood. She’s started a filmmaker-friendly web site, makingof.com, and has launched an LA-based production company named after her dog, Handsomecharlie Films. Plus, she’s set to play the female lead in Thor.

beautiful home for a beautiful gal….congrats, Nat!!!
Is it located next to Sean Penn’s house or maybe his hotel????
SHE ISN’T GORGEOUS OR A NICE PERSON. SHE IS A TOTAL PHUCKING BITCHHH.
She really thinks she is queen Amidala. In that case let me be the King
..im still recovering from the Kevin Federline post…thanks
Lucky Nat. Her castle looks gorgeous! :-)
Kevin Federline swallowed ADNON GALUB. Britney paid him to do it.
a home with “character and integrity”?!? come on.. it’s just a crib. she cute and all.. but she strikes me as one of those kind of annoying, arrogant, smarty pants chicks who”re to good to have fun.
Love her, she’s so spunky!
“.im still recovering from the Kevin Federline post…thanks”
LMFAOO!!!!
i love Natalie Portman. she hasnt done anything or said anything to make herself seem arrogant or rude. stop having stupid assumptions.
This is not a castle this is old news she bought a house in Los Feliz like in April it’s a large home with an office or mother in law unit in the back. Get real a castle would never sell for $3million and there isn’t any castles in LA. Nor is this a mansion it’s just a home is a trophy area of LF. Big deal doesn’t make her some punk ass as someone tried to say she can afford it, so more credit to her.
I thought she wanted to stay in NY because she don’t want to enter in the world of “Hollywood,” and now she’s in LA, she lies in her interviews.
PS: I love this house!
Not my preference for architecture, but whatever floats her boat.
To all the b*tches comparing her to Bilson. Know you know darn well Natalie is more talented and obviously makes a lot more money! A lot better looking and more stylish too! Boo Hoo Natalie haters!
@B$tch Slap!:
i agree! too much hate here! natile is very talented. so back off!!
You peeps make me laugh. Natalie is very talented and has made many movies. She also is directing. She is not stuck up. I have seen interviews of her before. She is just very intelligent. Something some of the Bilson lovers fail to understand. They are stuck on stupid Bilson b/c they are stupid. Don’t have the comprehension of real talent and true beauty and true fashion sense. Some have never got past tweenhood in the hood from what it sounds like here! LOL!
Go back to your d-lister friends haters! I think Natalie buying the castle like house has proved she is a success. Some of the jealous twits cannot stand that.
A Castle for $3 million - I don’t think so!
Just a pretty house in a good neighbourhood for a very hard-working actress who is both very talented and beautiful. Why is she stuck-up -because she isn’t out drinking and doing drugs in clubs every night?
Natalie is a class above all the other actresses in her age group, both in talent and good looks, and deserves her success.
I absolutely agree that Natalie is a class above all the other actresses in her age group, both in talent and good looks, and deserves her success. She supersedes all actors and actresses in her age range.
I am very impressed with her. Some people can’t get a job, Natalie is practically running HW. What a girl.
It is so true, Bilsons and Lohans and many others can not get a job and Natalie is picking roles and is directing and producing. She is amazing.
The picture is gorgeous of both Natalie and the room. I love the high ceilings and wood work and layout.
Natalie’s amazing! Nice to see some talented and working actresses on JJ.
This is old news, and I’ve seen better pictures of the house, has a very nice stairwell and lots of garden.
@21 sorry but as much as she can act-she is not practically running HW the reports however about a lesbian affair on screen have got lots of notice, maybe the movie(Swan) will actually make more than 50 million just for that.
So rachel bilson can’t at all and can’t grt a job, But natalie has done alot in her 28 years than rachel bilson will ever do. Natalie don’t need no man to take of her and get her jobs Rachel bilson do. Natalie has always shown that she can do things on her on. She has always shown her indenpence,Her and hayden has done well. Minue he getting hook-up with rachel bilson which jj gettting her cerdit for movie that not hers because hayden don’t want to be seem with her in LA.But hope she live a happy life in her new house and keep it getting good roles. Do you know Hayden or Natalie are directors? Don’t see rachel bilson doing anything like that do you? Keep up the good work natalie love you!
