Time flies, and today is the day to celebrate a very special anniversary: the premiere of Closer, one of the most acclaimed films in Natalie’s career, which took place on this day twenty years ago. To commemorate it, we have a trip down memory lane in the form of photos from that day at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood, California, in which we can see director Mike Nichols and a very young Natalie, Jude Law and Clive Owen (Julia Roberts was unable to attend due to the birth of her first child). Enjoy:

On July 28th, it was 20 years since the American premiere of Garden State. The film, directed by Zach Braff, was an indie phenomenon at the time, and one of the high points of Natalie’s career up to that point. To commemorate the anniversary, The Hollywood Reporter published a couple of days ago an extensive article remembering the film, with interviews with its cast and crew (including some quotes from Natalie).

Today is the 25th anniversary of the American release of Mars Attacks, Tim Burton’s movie with the most brilliant and extensive cast of stars, including a very young Natalie in a small role playing the daughter of “President” Jack Nicholson (it is ironic that, at the end of the film, she becomes the president of the US in a way). Here are a few pictures of Natalie during the premiere of the film in Los Angeles:

Without a doubt, Black Swan is for Natalie Portman one of the greatest milestones of her career. It was not only a great critical recognition (winning many awards, including an Oscar as lead actress), but also her definitive confirmation as one of the most recognized actresses of her generation. Today marks exactly ten years since the premiere of the film directed by Darren Aronofsky at the Venice film festival. To commemorate it, we have a few photos from the photocall as well as from the red carpet, where we can see an absolutely gorgeous Natalie:

Today, April 28, marks the twentieth anniversary of the release of Where the Heart is in American theaters. This film, shot just before Natalie entered Harvard University, has never been one of the critics’ favorites, but it is still well liked by many fans. Natalie has probably never been so adorable in a movie. To commemorate the twentieth anniversary, we have a few stills, the trailer the film, and an article in which we can see the cast of the movie, then and now.
