Portman's suburban sanctuary, which she bought after receiving her bachelor's degree from Harvard (with honors) last spring, is admirably low-key, a modest shingled house a short drive from the Long Island home she grew up in, where her parents still live. The bathrooms are clean, the kitchen tidy, the books neatly arranged by subject—poetry, theater, psychology, Judaica, and so on—with shelves devoted to memorabilia from some of her projects: the 2001 Mike Nichols-directed Central Park production of The Seagull, in which she appeared with Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Philip Seymour Hoffman; her 1997 Broadway debut, The Diary of Anne Frank; and the new film Closer, in which Portman stars as Alice, a troubled stripper, opposite Jude Law, Julia Roberts, and Clive Owen in a dark rondelay of romance and recrimination. It too is directed by Nichols, whom she calls “my mentor, my rock idol, my daddy, my best friend.”
