There's
more to Natalie Portman than Queen Amidala. With a psychology degree from
Harvard and an Academy Award for Black Swan,
Portman has proven she is just as talented and intelligent as she is
captivatingly gorgeous.
While Portman has dated actor Gael García Bernal and rocker Devendra, she continues to keep her romantic life relatively private. Onscreen, though, the actress continues pushing herself, earning an Oscar nod for 2004's Closer, playing a war-torn spouse in 2009's Brothers and earning a Best Actress Academy Award for Black Swan – where she met husband Benjamin Millepied, with whom she had a baby boy named Aleph in 201

Though Natalie Portman (born Natalie Hershlag) was
born in Jerusalem, her family moved to the United States when she was just 3
years old in order for her father to continue his career in medicine. By 1988,
her family had settled in Long Island, and Portman, who has always felt a close
tie to her Jewish roots, attended Solomon Schechter Day School of Glen Cove,
New York, and graduated from Syosset High School. When she was 11, Portman was
discovered in a New York pizza joint by a modeling scout, but her true passion
was acting, a love affair she developed while attending the exclusive Stagedoor
Manor Performing Camp for three summers.
