The young actress from Willy Wonka, Return To Witch Mountain and the surprisingly good Bridge To Terebitha, joins the ever expanding list of young actresses that look up to Natalie. The following comes from this new interview.

JC: If you could work with any actor, who would it be and why?

That’s hard! I would love to work with Natalie Portman. I think she’s a really talented actress. She started as a really young actor and I think she’s transferred to being a young woman and into a woman very well. And she went to an Ivy League school and I really respect her. And I think Meryl Streep is a wonderful role model as well.
