<youtube size="tiny" align="right" caption="Natalie Portman on Terrorism following her appearance in V for Vendetta">0UY_qd7q2mw</youtube>Natalie Portman (real name Natalie Hershlag) is an Israeli-born actress. She served as a research assistant for Alan Dershowitz.[1] Dershowitz says of her, “She’s not one of those Hollywood stars who plays on her stardom to have you listen to her on other issues. She’s worth listening to because of her own inherent intelligence, experience, and background.” “She was really on the cutting edge,” says Dershowitz, who, for a time, had no idea that Natalie Hershlag was a Hollywood movie star. “I think there were a lot of people in the class were really were taken with this new methodology. She just ripped it apart.” Eventually she became his research assistant, and he encouraged her to go to graduate school in psychology.[2]
