Thank You For Not Smoking
Natalie Portman’s parents had strict guidelines for her roles when she was a child and teenager. For example, her parents were very concerned about her role as Matilda in “The Professional.” Her parents negotiated that there would only be 5 smoking scenes with the director, and Natalie herself would never be seen inhaling or exhaling from a cigarette.

This is pretty interesting! Natalie actually couldn’t attend the premiere of the 1999 “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.” She stayed home so she could study for her high school final exams.
