Natalie
Portman to Make Directorial Debut
2/17/08
Actress Natalie Portman is set to make her directorial debut - with a
film in Hebrew.
The Israeli-born star - who also speaks French and some Arabic, besides
English and Hebrew - will helm the screen adaptation of A Tale Of Love And
Darkness, Amos Oz's memoir of his childhood in Jerusalem in the 1940s,
reports the New York Post's gossip column PageSix.
She tells America's W magazine, "I've been reading Oz since high
school, and when I read his biography I just sort of saw it."
