Portman, born Netta-Lee Hershlag in Jerusalem on June 9, 1981, is the daughter of an Israeli reproductive endocrinologist and an American mother. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was about three years old. She pursued higher education, earning a psychology degree from Harvard University in 2003 and also studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She speaks Hebrew and English and has studied French, German, Japanese, and Arabic. She adopted her maternal grandmother's maiden name as her professional surname.
Her acting career began with a notable role in Luc Besson's 1994 film "Léon." She gained international fame as Padmé Amidala in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy. Portman later received critical acclaim for her roles in "Closer," for which she earned a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination, and "Black Swan," which won her an Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA. Her filmography includes "V for Vendetta," "The Other Boleyn Girl," "Jackie," and appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jane Foster.
Beyond acting, Portman has directed, including the 2015 film "A Tale of Love and Darkness," which was filmed in Hebrew. She has also ventured into producing with her company MountainA and is a co-founder of the Angel City FC women's soccer team in Los Angeles.
