赵：从最初站在镁光灯下到今天，昔日的女孩如今已长大，纯真依旧但是多 了份成熟女人的自信与风情。娜塔莉正用自己的实际行动向世界证明——她是好莱坞新一代演员中最具实力，最有前途的女星。

  出生于圣城耶路撒冷的娜塔莉·波特曼家境优越，拉宾的年代，炮火连天的局面不得不使全家移民美利坚。那一年波特曼只有三岁，不经世事，避过了触目惊心的烽烟，安谧祥和地生活在大洋彼岸，她的父亲是位著名的医师，身为艺术家的母亲而后成为她的经理人。9岁的娜塔莉·波特曼在纽约一家披萨店里被星探发现，露华浓公司本想将她定位为模特，却被一口拒绝，从那时起，她就期待着成为一名演员。

赵：吕克·贝松的第一部英语电影在美国选角，这位怪蜀黍在丽芙·泰勒和娜塔莉·波特曼之间摇摆不定，前者个子太高了，后者又太小，不放弃的波特曼索性又到贝松跟前来了一轮表演，最终拿下电影全片的剧本。这部片子就是《这个杀手不太冷》，青春叛逆的马蒂尔德惊艳绝伦，杀手庇护下的柔弱身影成功实现了抢镜，不过出名给她带来了无穷无尽的麻烦，为保隐私，她不得不把姓氏从赫许勒改为祖母家的波特曼，那一年，她仅仅12岁。

  此时加在她身上的，是“萝莉代言人”的标签，《盗火线》里艾尔·帕西诺的继女，《火星人》中杰克·尼科尔森的女儿，《美丽佳人》中的早熟少女，演完这些后，波特曼相继推掉了《冰风暴》、《洛丽塔》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》等片约。一头扎进百老汇的剧院，是《安妮·弗兰克日记》的热烈排演，没有电影的喧嚣，却有谢幕时的掌声阵阵。 在好莱坞女星中，娜塔莉·波特曼算是个异数，她兢兢业业地完成了四年的学士课程。而她之后好几届的学弟，同样曾修过心理学专业的神童马克·扎克伯格，最终选择了辍学。拍完《芳心天涯》的波特曼搬进了哈佛大学的学生宿舍，开始了青葱的校园时代，整整四年，她几乎拒绝了除《星球大战》系列之外的所有电影，即便这几部片，也是在不上课的暑假中拍摄完成。

赵：星战前传让娜塔莉·波特曼又火了一遍，片中的阿米达拉女王，让人认识到昔日萝莉长成的魅力，光鲜亮眼。拍片期间，她亦与男主演海登·克里斯滕森擦出一段无疾而终的未了缘。上学期间的娜塔莉·波特曼还拍了另一部电影《甜心伊人》，出演一位坚毅的年轻妈妈，杀青后立马赶回校园。“感谢美国演员公会多年来保护像我这样童星出身的演员，在演戏同时能兼顾学业”，波特曼在出席颁奖礼时如是说。

娜塔莉·波特曼与华人导演也有不解之缘，除了早年王颖的《芳心天涯》外，王家卫赴美拍摄的《蓝莓之夜》中也出现了她的身影，这部电影亦作为2007年戛纳影展开幕片放映。身为配角的娜塔莉·波特曼，演绎一个开着积架的无良少女，戏份不多却甚为抢镜，160的身高，于更娇小诺拉·琼斯面前，竟然成了高傲的白天鹅。最大的魅力，在于她的内蕴的才华，这位哈佛学生除了学业一流，还通晓希伯来语、英语、德语、法语、日语和阿拉伯语，在各大影展红毯上显得无拘无束。

赵：按导演迈克·尼古尔斯的说法，“娜塔莉·波特曼的头脑，远远超过了她的美貌”。在一次杂志访谈中，波特曼表示自己“和其他小孩很不一样”。“我比较有野心，我知道我喜欢什么，想要什么，所以我很努力。我是个很稳重、认真的孩子。”
