Someone tell the girl that Anthony Hopkins isn’t really a canibal or Hitler either. Sheesh!

she turned the part down because she couldn't see herself as a lifelong virgin.

She did mention something like that to me in our last secret meeting. I offered to quit seeing her for a while if it made her feel any better, but she said no way.

*Shrugs*...I mean, I did offer.

I was completely unaware that once you play a nun you must become one!

[durasell]

....she arrived at this conclusion shortly after learning how much Ms. Streep were getting for her role in the movie.

Natalie, there was a time when actresses (unlike yourself) could act:

[prairiebreeze]

Natalie....who?

[DesertRhino]

How proud her parents must be. “Mom,, im *such* a human pin cushion, i couldn’t **possibly*** play a nice girl,,, jeeezzzz”.

And i don’t know, but i understand some actors really jump at a chance to play across from Streep? They think it’s even good for the career?

Lunacy,, also,, i bet her agent was just *thrilled* to hear her decision.

I don't think God intended man to be celibate. I think he intended for a young man and a young girl to marry and have sex all they want. In fact the bible says so.

That doesn't mean you can't pretend to be celibate. It is called acting. Now some people can't act all that well. They simply play themselves but if you are a charismatic person such as John Wayne, or Roy Rogers, there will still be lots of rolls for you.

[Bearshouse]

It is just pretend isn’t it? I mean can Harrison Ford really survive a jump from a crashing jet? Do the zombies really come back to life? Is Dudley DoRight really that dumb?

[IronJack]

she couldn't see herself as a lifelong virgin.

There are probably a couple hundred men who couldn't see her that way either.

But that's why it's called "fiction."

Of course, she'd have to be a darn sight better actress to pull off that much of a stretch ...

[Mr. Silverback]

In high school I played an IRS agent, a greek statue and a crab in various plays. Later on I played a guy who was boffing his stepmother and conspiring with her to knock off his dad, and a barely literate trailer park denizen.

Apparently I’m better at this, since (except for living in a trailer park) I can’t imagine doing a single one of those things for real.

[Doug TX]

In other words, the money wasn’t good enough for her to be in the same movie with the washed up Streep.

[supremedoctrine]

To quote Jon Lovitz as The Master THespian:

It’s called ACTING!!!!

[Tanniker Smith]

While I’m glad she pulled out (so to speak) rather than messing up the role, I’d like to point out that it is called “acting”.

[BenLurkin]

[ZULU]

Well, Portman, like most actresses these days, is probably a lifelong SLUT.
