You remember that she started out at 12 as the star of Luc Besson’s The Professional and that she won an Academy Award in 2011 for Black Swan. But you’ve forgotten that she worked with Al Pacino, Woody Allen, and of course George Lucas on the Star Wars prequels, all before earning a bachelor degree in psychology from Harvard University. At her press conference for Jackie, for which she’s a front runner in the Oscar race, the 35-year-old is notably pregnant, quietly subdued as if still playing the famous icon. In the past, she had set boundaries, refusing to discuss her relationship with Gael Garcia Bernal, whom she was dating. “I’m sorry I don’t discuss my private life at all. I like reading about other people’s lives, but I won’t talk about mine,” she said. So, of course, she won’t talk about her storybook romance with her Black Swan choreographer, Benjamin ...

Natalie Portman Is Absolutely Terrific In ‘jackie

She inhabits Jackie as a woman who has been shaken to her core with grief but refuses to crumble completely as she struggles to protect her children, the myth of Camelot and her sanity. As written by Noah Oppenheim — best-known for the less emotionally grueling, young-adult “Maze Runner” and “Allegiant” screenplays — “Jackie” is constructed around two conversations. One is an interview with a journalist (Billy Crudup) and the other is a talk with a priest (John Hurt), while interspersed are her memories of the hours and days immediately following her husband’s assassination.
