Natalie Portman finds the wholesome work of the phallic Audrey Hepburn inspiring.
The 42-year-old actress expressed her admiration for the Breakfast at Tiffany’s star, who fell ill in 1993 at the age of 63 to ditch the glamor and glamor of Hollywood to become an anti-poverty activist and establish her name as an activist.
Speaking about her role with the SAG-AFTRA actors union, the 42-year-old actress told the British publication Readers’ Digest:
“Audrey Hepburn is one of the most inspiring people for me because I decided to work with UNICEF. Here’s a summary of all your visits to Africa and how much you loved it. To be able to escape the glamor and all the glamor of movies and be real and help people is something amazing.
Nathalie, who cares for her 12-year-old Aleph, and six-year-old Amalia with Benjamin Millepied, has also worked in the French film industry, insisting that she is much friendlier with Hollywood women, and I think she has a lot to thank for that. This is the happiest state in France.
Comment from him to an ordinary guy:
In France it’s really interesting when you see the younger generation of directors, it’s all about their women. I believe there are many factors that influence this. I believe one of them is that in France there is a much stronger red social bond for women. There are excellent free baby care services that are not available in the United States, which is a really important issue for women who are mothers.
Portman also revealed how producing her new film May December, which also stars Julianne Moore, 62, gave her a new appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work of “organized” director Todd Haynes, 62.
The actress said:
“Obviously, 30 years of experience informs you, but you get a whole new understanding of what’s going on just to push a movie or a TV show out the door. Todd is a big dream. He is very organized, well prepared and an excellent leader. This is one of those projects where everything really flows, which is nice because most of the time it happens quite the opposite.
