3 Unknown Facts about Natalie Portman
1. She’s a Harvard Graduate
While conventionally, actors and actresses across the entertainment world aren’t hailed as academic-oriented, Portman is never known to fit into molds. In fact, she graduated from Harvard University, one of the most prestigious universities globally. She graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She said, “I don’t care if college ruins my career. I’d rather be smart than a movie star.”
2. She’s a scientist too!
Even though she has claimed her prowess in the movie world in an unparalleled manner, her academic proficiency never took a back seat. Taking her intellectual discourse a step further, Portman has a paper published and is a legitimate scientist. Her published paper (under Natalie Hershlag) is titled “Frontal lobe activation during object permanence: data from near-infrared spectroscopy.”
3. She’s vocal about equality in the industry
Never one to wither about her stance, the oscar winning actress is very vocal about the lack of female representation in the industry. In 2020, while announcing the winner of Best Director alongside director Ron Howard, Natalie highlighted the fact that the five nominees were all male. “Here are all the male nominees,” she said as the names of Christopher Nolan, Martin McDonagh, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, and eventual winner Guillermo del Toro were shown.
