Natalie Portman is a pretty cool Jew. Not to mention she was born in Israel. On June 9 1981, in Jerusalem she was born Natalie Hershlag. She has dual American and Israeli citizenship. When she was three years old she moved to America. She is not only an amazing actress who was in my favorite movie, Star Wars, but she is also an amazing activist. She filmed a documentary in Rwanda called Guerrillas on the Brink. She is an ambassador of Hope for FINCA International. FINCA helps to finance women-owned businesses in developing countries. She is also an ambassador of Free the Children. She is filming a new movie in Israel about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, A Tale of Love and Darkness. Although she has lived in America most her life she has said that her heart is in the East. She wrote a very beautiful and touching piece about how she feels about Israel.
