Natalie Portman is about to steal our hearts. Again.

The first still from the actress’ upcoming Jackie Kennedy biopic Jackie was and Portman is stunning in her eerie resemblance to the most famous First Lady of the 20th century.

Produced by Darren Aronofsky in partnership with Protozoa Pictures, the film follows Jacqueline Kennedy after the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy. Filming is already underway in Paris.

Directed by Pablo Larraín, the movie also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig and John Hurt.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
