Answer: Jean Reno

"L�on - The Professional" was directed by Luc Besson, with Jean Reno in the title role. Reno, also known from "The Da Vinci Code" and "Ronin", plays a cold-hearted assassin with an obsession for milk.

Natalie Portman does an amazing job in this movie.

2. Which actor plays the piano player with a crush on 13-year old Marty, portrayed by Natalie Portman, in Ted Demme's "Beautiful Girls"?

Answer: Timothy Hutton

Timothy Hutton plays Willie, a dysfunctional man who returns to his home town after a long absence, in this film about finding oneself. He finds himself developing a crush on the girl next door, Marty, a 13-year old. Portman is great as the smart and ahead-of-her-age Marty.

3. Which actress plays the mother of Natalie Portman's character in Tim Burton's science-fiction/comedy "Mars Attacks!"?

4. Natalie Portman landed the role of Queen Padm� Amidala in "Star Wars" (Episodes I-III). Which actress plays Padm�'s decoy, Sab�, in "Episode I - The Phantom Menace"?

Answer: Keira Knightley

When the two talented young actresses were both dressed up in their costumes, it was allegedly almost impossible to tell them apart. Episodes I-III of "Star Wars" are about how Anakin Skywalker grew from being a naive little boy to the most feared Sith lord of all.

These movies didn't do justice to Portman's talent. For Knightley's sake, she only has a small supporting role in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace".

5. In "Cold Mountain", from 2003, Natalie has a minor role as a young mother. Which of the main characters visits her cottage in the film?

Answer: Inman, played by Jude Law

Portman's part in this movie is rather small. She delivers as always, though, as the young mother who welcomes Law's Inman, a wounded Confederate soldier, into her cabin. Inman is on his way back to his native Cold Mountain where he will be reunited with his love, Ada, played by Nicole Kidman. The journey proves to be difficult and dangerous.

6. Natalie teams up with her "Cold Mountain" co-star Jude Law in "Closer", from 2004. Who plays the last two of the four main characters?

Answer: Julia Roberts and Clive Owen

In this romantic drama directed by Mike Nichols, the four main characters get involved in problematic relationships with each other. The problem starts when the man from one couple (Law) meets the woman from another (Roberts), and everything turns into a big mess. Natalie Portman and Clive Owen were nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Actor Oscars for "Closer", and both won the Golden Globes for the same categories.

7. Natalie played Sam in "Garden State" from 2004. Who wrote, directed and played the lead in the movie?

Answer: Zach Braff

Natalie is great as the goofy, but smart Sam, and again she plays the girl-next-door type who the lead character gets a crush on. Zach Braff, from TV's "Scrubs", wrote and directed a terrific film about a struggling actor who has been under a constant influence of drugs since he was a little boy.

When he returns home for his mother's funeral, he decides to take a pause from the drugs and see life through unmedicated eyes.

8. In 2005, Portman played a part in the movie "V For ______". What word is missing?

Answer: Vendetta

"V For Vendetta" was directed by James McTeigue, and produced by the Wachowski brothers and Joel Silver. The plot takes place in a totalitarian Britain, where the government oppresses the people and takes away their freedoms. A man in disguise, known only as V, goes on a personal vendetta against the government. V rescues Evey, played by Natalie Portman, and she sees him as sort of a father figure. Natalie had to go bald for her role in this movie.

9. In "My Blueberry Nights" from 2007, Portman has a supporting role. Who plays the soul-searching main character?

Answer: Norah Jones

Kai War Wong directed this flick, which features Norah Jones in her first lead role.

They examine their relationship to each other, and to their mother. Scwartzman has earlier starred in "Marie Antionette", "Rushmore" and "I Heart Huckabees". Portman stars in the short "Hotel Chevalier" which acts as a prologue to "The Darjeeling Limited".
