1-MINUTE RESUME FOR NATALIE PORTMAN
Portman first gained notoriety at the age of 12 for her role in Luc Besson's The Professional. Her teens were spent in supporting roles until, at 18, she garnered a Golden Globe nomination for her part opposite Susan Sarandon in the drama Anywhere but Here. Despite these early successes, Portman didn't gain mainstream stardom until her role as Padmé Amidala in George Lucas' much-ballyhooed trilogy of Star Wars prequels.
