Natalie Portman

Birthdate: June 9, 1981
Location: New York
Occupation: actress

Natalie Portman is the extremely good-looking actress who is probably still best-known for being the Queen in the last three Star Wars movies. Whatever. She's had way better roles, and is one of the most consistent actresses in Hollywood because she's not actually in very many movies. To date her best are probably Mike Nichols's Closer (which she got an Oscar nomination for) and The Professional, which she made when she was twelve. She's got a Harvard degree in psychology and taught a class on Terrorism at Columbia (!) According to natalieportman.com her favorite song is Ben by Michael Jackson, although how that would have come up I have no idea. Soon she'll be seen in Tom Tywker's segment of the Paris, je t'aime movie.

She made the list because she's one of the only women in Hollywood that's actually interesting to read about. Also, she's gorgeous. Really, really gorgeous.
