Is Natalie Portman Still Making American Films?

Now that Natalie Portman lives in Paris, will she be making any more American films?

—Rainer T., Chicago, Ill.

A: Since moving to France, Portman, 34, has ventured into French filmmaking. But she also has two projects coming up that couldn’t be more American. The first is the Western Jane Got a Gun, opening Jan. 29, in which she stars as a woman trying to save her outlaw husband from a gang that wants to kill him. And she’s filming Jackie, starring as Jacqueline Kennedy, about the first lady’s life after John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
