Natalie’s new movie was an anthology with several love stories set in New York. She played a Jewish bride. This was a role that Natalie could identify with. She was born in Israel and re-located to the US when she was 3 years old. Her former co-star in “The Other Boleyn Girl”, Scarlett Johansson, was a director for this new movie. Other celebrities in the cast included Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood and Nick Nolte.
