Natalie Portman is one of Hollywood’s A-listers. After finding fame for her work in Leon: The Professional, she appeared in many blockbuster titles such as Heat, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Beautiful Girls, Mars Attacks! And Everyone Says I Love You. She took a break from acting to nurture a degree in Psychology at Harvard while still appearing in stage plays. Later in her career, she landed several significant roles, such as in Black Swan and Thor and its sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

Outside of Hollywood, Portman holds a reputation of being an entrepreneur herself. She released a line of vegan shoes as a way of helping animals out.

The actress is also known to support FINCA, aiming to provide microfinancing to aid in developing emerging countries and their economies.
