Natalie Portman Auditions for The Professional (Leon)

My first sift.
I was always amazed by her performance in this movie, given her age, and the disturbing subject matter.

Looking at her performance here and in the movie, I am torn between two feelings:

1) Hoping that one day I'll have a daughter who's as beautiful and talented as Natalie Portman

2) Hoping I never, ever have a daughter who's as beautiful and talented as Natalie Portman

I mean, just imagine the vigilance (and arsenal?) it would take to keep the testosterone filled teenage boys at bay.

Interesting to hear some of the original dialogue that never made it into the final version. Seems they made some good cuts as some of the lines seemed a bit forced. But what a great movie with an amazingly grounded/mature actress!

This was such a great movie, and after seeing it for the first time I could tell right away that Natalie Portman was destined for greatness. (I'll even forgive her for her 'Star Wars' performances - George Lucas embarrassed EVERY actor in those films.)

Wow, it only took you two years to get your first star, ashes. At this rate you'll go Gold 60-70 years after we're all dead. So I guess I better congratulate you now:

ashes2flames goes GOLD, everybody! (In the year 2108!) Give it up now, while you still have a pulse!

ashes2flames was my original account. I created Rottenseed as a puppet, but after the persona of this account took shape, I decided to go with this one instead.

You wouldn't want to even pretend to be me .. lol.

Thanks for all the votes and encouragement all!
I've enjoyed the site quite a lot over the last couple of years, glad I found something I could share.
But yeah, 2108 sounds about right for me going gold.
