Did Natalie Portman's Dream Turn into Reality?
If there's one thing I'm curious about, it's how our dreams dreams go about turning into reality and how people get to where they are. I've had a blog for about 4 years. Every once in a while I look back on old posts and see how I've fulfilled some of my dreams and am doing exactly what I want to be doing. In many ways, I've come to my current path in a round about, unpredictable way but regardless, I'm there. I'm not sure what the lesson to be learned here is except that it's important to have constantly evolving goals that you should put on paper ever-so-often. I also think it's important to trust ones instincts and recognize what and who we're drawn to. The other day, I found a three year old post where I mention someone who was a stranger to me then, but is in my life now. Weird. So I thought it was appropriate to dig through my large collection of old magazines and see what Natalie Portman was saying 10+ years ago. Was there anything in her past that drove her to becoming an Oscar Nominee for a dancing movie like Black Swan? Or being pregnant and dating her choreographer, Benjamin Millepied?As a matter of fact, yes - in the September 1999 issue of Jane Magazine, Natalie Portman sits down with Susan Sarandon to discuss boyfriends and babies for the release of their movie, Anywhere But Here. She mentioned that her real dream was to be a dancer in Fosse on Broadway - Broadway/Lincoln Center -- close enough. And she wants a man who she can discuss culture with and experience new things.. I've scanned the article for your enjoyment.
Hello My Name Is Molly and I like to Make Draw-awings

Natalie Portman from Marie ClaireI'm kind of out of practice with the drawing but it feels good and relaxing to attempt some sketches. I forgot that these two played sisters in the movie version of one of my favorite books. Yeah, drawing faces is hard. It's about getting the measurements for one particular feature that makes all the difference as to whether or not you've captured their essence. I wish I could commit to drawing other subjects like errr.. men, but drawing men just doesn't interest me as much. Plus I'm not likely to have men's magazines laying around.. obviously.
