Natalie Portman

Natalie's first real movie Léon was awesome, but unfortunately the only one she starred in before her teens. Even then, Léon definitely established Natalie as one of the best known child actresses, probably largely due to the subject matter of the movie.
A little before Léon, she had performed in a short film Developing, which was never officially released on VHS or DVD. The film can sometimes be found in YouTube or other similar places however.
Developing
For the next two years, when she was about thirteen to fifteen, she starred in five movies, all remarkably good ones for a fresh actress. Relevant to this site are mostly the first two of those. Her role in Heat is only a few minutes, and the clip below covers about half her lines, but for fans the movie might be worth checking out nonetheless.
Heat
Of Beautiful girls we have a mini review, and Natalie's role is larger, about ten minutes, and has a lot of dialogue.
As an early teenager she had a small role in Woody Allen's romantic comedy musical Everyone Says I Love You. Her probably longest scene is below.
Everyone Says I Love You
At the age of seventeen she became a serious celebrity when earning the role as Queen Padmé in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace – but that you knew already.
