Natalie Portman, former child star, Oscar winner, and franchise veteran, has had a very unusual career in the movies.
Internationally famous before she was even a teen, Portman has moved from mega blockbusters like Star Wars and Thor to character driven Academy Award darlings Black Swan and Jackie with ease.
There’s been a lot of great film music along the way, too. Join Dan Golding in this episode of Screen Sounds to explore Natalie Portman’s career and performances, and the music of Clint Mansell, Mica Levi, and John Williams that has accompanied her along the way.
