Натали Портман: красота, талант, мозги
Мне всегда нравилась Натали Портман. Она блестяще справлялась со всеми своими ролями и при этом впечатление что она никогда не болела звездной болезнью. То что я о ней узнал сегодня привысило все мои представления о ней. Оказывается что она будучи школьницей участвовала в научном соревновании спонсированном интелом, заняла серебрянное место и даже опубликовала результаты в научном журнале по химии.
Natalie Portman’s already high profile skyrocketed this week when she took home an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as a troubled ballet dancer in the film “Black Swan.”
Portman burst into the public’s consciousness in a big way back in 1999, when she played Queen Amidala in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” But few movie fans also know that in that very year, she also played a starring role in the Intel Science Talent Search (STS).
Still a high school student at that time, Portman’s project was entitled “A Simple Method to Demonstrate the Enzymatic Production of Hydrogen from Sugar.” The project was good enough to earn Portman a berth as a semifinalist in the competition, and was accepted for publication in the Journal of Chemical Education—probably the only movie star ever to be featured in that journal.
Elizabeth Marincola, the president of the Society for Science & the Public, which manages the STS, wrote in the Huffington Post this week, “This year’s Intel STS winners will be announced on March 15; it must be thrilling for the 40 finalists for 2011 to witness one of their own…achieve such remarkable success.”
