You can’t pigeonhole Natalie Portman’s career. She was a child actor in 1994’s “The Professional”, a sci-fi matriarch in the Star Wars prequels, the Academy Award winning star of 2010’s “Black Swan”, and She’s also a Harvard grad, activist and mother of two with her husband. With Natalie Portman’s Fables, she is now a children’s book author. In this conversation with Hilaria and Daphne, Natalie talks about how her kids inspired her to re-work classic fairy tales and make them more reflective of current gender views, to make sure both boys and girls are represented equally in these fairy tale classics. She also delved into her love of baking, how her husband wooed her and her friends with his culinary skills, and how as a mom she’s handling homeschool duties. The Academy Award winner recorded the chat from Australia where she and her husband are working during the pandemic.
