Natalie Portman

The women with a good head on their shoulders, in both the beauty and brain department. First up, Natalie Portman...

The elfin-featured actress made a stunning debut in Leon at the age of 11. She then made a number of movies before her teens were anywhere near finishing. The world was her oyster but she kept the education up, acting only during the summer, and graduating with honours. So, back to acting? Nope. She went to Harvard to study psychology and then went back to acting.
