Israel’s Hadassah Hospital last week received a $50 million donation from actress Natalie Portman.
Portman, who recently won an Oscar for her performance in Black Swan, gave the money towards an improved and expanded emergency trauma centre at the celebrated Jerusalem medical centre.
Dr. Kobi Assaf, director of surgery and shock trauma, says the expansion will save many lives as it will allow three times as many victims to be treated at once.
Portman (29) and pregnant with her first child, is Jerusalem–born and holds dual Israel-US nationality.
Her father is a well-known medic who used to work in Jerusalem. Her mother is an artist.
A Harvard graduate, last year Portman returned ‘home’ to study Jewish History at the Hebrew University.
While studying at Harvard, Portman wrote an open letter defending Israeli security policies after a pro-PLO student attacked Israel.
She has frequently paid visits to Israeli terrorist victims and more recently spoke out so harshly against the antisemitic comments made by Dior’s British-born fashion designer, John Galliano that his boss, Sidney Toledano was forced to dismiss him.
