Natalie Portman appears on the cover of the annual "Hollywood" issue of Vanity Fair. The actress talks about the separation she imposes between public and private life.

She says she chose a different name when she started her career to protect herself. When she becomes a mother, she questions this total separation between private and public life. “Sometimes I try to do accents that I work on when I read them a bedtime story, just to practice, and they go crazy,” she tells the magazine.
