Natalie Portman Parents and Family
Natalie Portman was born on June 9, 1981 in Jerusalem. Shelley Hershlag and Avner Hershlag are the biological parents of Natalie Portman.
Her parents were both of Jewish ancestry. Her parents gave her the traditional Hebrew name of “Neta-Lee Hershlag” at birth. She is the only child of Shelley, an American homemaker who works as Portman’s agent, and Avner Hershlag, an Israeli fertility specialist and gynecologist. Her maternal grandparents, Bernice and Arthur Stevens (whose family surname was originally Edelstein), were from Jewish families who moved to the United States from Austria and Russia. Natalie’s paternal grandparents, Mania and Zvi Yehuda Hershlag, were Jewish immigrants to Israel.
Portman’s parents met at a Jewish student center at Ohio State University, where her mother was selling tickets. They corresponded after her father returned to Israel and were married when her mother visited a few years later.
