It’s “Star Wars” week, and though Natalie Portman may not be anywhere near the current frenzy around the franchise that launched her into stardom, she’s still in the headlines today. News and not only she looks stunning, she’s also the spitting image of the iconic figure. This movie portrays Jackie Kennedy’s life after her husband, John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Hollywood actress Natalie Portman will play Jacqueline “Jackie” Kennedy in an upcoming biopic by Pablo Larrain, slated for release in 2017. She was still using her maiden name then.
The former first lady had a reputation for being well dressed, and counted Givenchy, Chanel, Balenciaga and Dior among her favorite designers. The film also stars Peter Sarsgaard as Robert Kennedy, along with John Hurt and Greta Gerwig in roles that have yet to be disclosed.
