BIOGRAPHY
The Jerusalem-born daughter of a fertility doctor and an artist went on to study psychology at Harvard, and, if the recent plaudits for her role in Black Swan is anything to go by, it doesn't seem to have damaged her career in the slightest.
Born on June 9, 1981, Natalie has long been on the serious side, deciding to become a vegetarian at the ripe old age of eight, taking time to learn three additional languages (French, Hebrew and Japanese) and making her Broadway debut while earning near-perfect marks as a full-time high school student. "I feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold," she said at the time. "I'm showing girls my age it's not dorky to want to study and go to school instead of just partying."
