Beyond the white make-up and outrageous Padme Amidala costume, is a brilliant girl named Natalie Portman (born Natalie Hershlag, Hebrew in descent). She is one of the most intelligent Hollywood actresses nowadays and this was proven by her academic background.
She graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Psychology, and decided to pursue advanced studies in Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. If those facts aren’t enough to impress you, then how about me telling you that Ms. Portman here fluently speaks 5 languages? Aside from English, she speaks Hebrew, French, German, Japanese and Arabic.
Indeed, we got someone here with talent, beauty and brains.
