Natalie Portman's NYC Screening

She’s back on the promotional trail, and Natalie Portman couldn’t be cuter. She was spotted last night in New York City for the special event.

The Regal Cinemas were the place to be for the special screening of “The Other Boleyn Girl,” where the “Garden State” actress charmed the many clamoring paparazzi in search of a winning photo.

Portman sported a gorgeous black velvet gown along with a half-curly-half-straight coif and some sparse-yet-sophisticated accessory jewelry.

According to a new MSNBC report, part of Natalie’s success has to do with the fact that her mom/manager isn’t after her own glory, but rather the furthering of her daughter’s career.

The report states, “There’s nothing wrong with having a mom-ager, as long as she makes good decisions and isn’t trying to stage-mother her way to fame on your back. Portman’s mother, Shelley Stevens, has served as her agent, and the array of Portman’s film and stage work shows that her mother isn’t frightened by controversy and that she also steers clear of projects that reek of pointless commerciality. Every young actress should have such a guiding influence in her corner.”
