Natalie Portman’s beauty preserved in its fullest flower


It is obvious from many films that she has a very pretty face. But she has the kind of body that in most outfits just appears petite but nothing spectacular (you can see that even in this film in most scenes, especially at the airport but even in the hotel). But in the two stripper outfits, you can see that in her twenties she had an absolutely incredible body to go with the pretty face.

I always wonder if actors whose youthful pulchritude is preserved on celluloid are glad in their later years to look back and smile like “look at what a fox I was!” or whether it’s more wistful, grappling with the loss of those salad days.
