Editorial Review:
Natalie Portman is only 20 years old, but she has already costarred in nine motion pictures with actors such as Susan Sarandon, Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Goldie Hawn, Robert De Niro, and Jack Nicholson. Recently, she has found her way into the hearts of people around the world as Queen Amidala in the new Star Wars trilogy and is the only actor George Lucas has signed for all three episodes. This biography examines the charm and wit of her professional persona and reveals the emotional life of the real Portman, giving readers an idea of what lies behind her fresh beauty and formidable talent. Israeli-born and a descendant of Holocaust survivors, Portman's influences and ambitious dreams are revealed through accounts of her relationship with her successful and demanding parents, her modeling career and early acting roles, her life at Harvard, and her breathtaking performance in Star Wars.
Natalie Portman: Queen of Hearts Reviews:
Natalie Portman Fantasy! 
2005-11-04 - Natalie Portman is a famous actress from the Star Wars movies.
IF you like Natalie Portman then you should check out this DVD, My Virtual Cytherea. Hint: Cytherea has appeared on the Howard Stern Show and she is Natalie Portman's evil twin.
A GREAT English Book Report Book 
2004-11-24 - This was a great book if you need one for a book report. It was very honest with who Natalie was, and I recommend it to any fan. Happy reading!!
EXCELLENT NATALIE
2003-08-11 - I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING THERE WAS TO KNOW ABOUT NATALIE. WRONG! AFTER READING THIS WELL-WRITTEN BOOK, I REALIZED HOW LITTLE I REALLY KNEW.
BEST PART: HER EXPERIENCES AT HARVARD.
I'VE READ A LOT ABOUT NATALIE, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD HER EXPLAINED TO ME, AS THIS BOOK DOES SO WELL. NATALIE SHOULD GIVE THE AUTHOR AN AWARD OR SOMETHING.
Shame on you Mr. Dickerson
2003-07-18 - I was really disappointed. A lot of the book is based on speculation about her background and no one knows for sure what is fact and what is fiction. The author seems to have some sort of obsession with the young lady and her sexuality and her apparent envy of another child star Britney Spears because she (Britney) became famous before her. He gives absolutely no evidence for his reasoning and it reads like a tabloid magazine, and really it's quite creepy that a grown man would dwell on it so much. He goes on to say more than once what a noble thing it has been that he has waited so long to reveal her real name, that by not doing so would go against freedom of the press, yet it's confusing to the reader because he apparently has only been aware of her for a couple of years. I literally feel guilty and sick for buying this book and supporting this guy. It's highly disrespectful to both Natalie Portman and her family.
Shame on you, Mr. Dickerson. Shame on you!
Dickerson lacks authority... 
2002-12-25 - I found this book to be nothing more than a high school-level book report on magazine articles and newspaper clippings. The fact that Dickerson himself admits that he hadn't really taken an interest in Natalie Portman until the year 2000 shows that he does not speak from any privileged vantage point. He is not privy to any special information about Natalie that would draw any intelligent reader's attention, nor does he offer any keen insight into things that even the most casual fan of Natalie Portman's would know through pop culture and the media. The fact that Dickerson fails to get substantial information from those closest to Natalie proves not only that he is irresponsible, but he lacks authority to speak on Ms. Portman as well.
