Portman was born in Jerusalem, Israel.
She is the only child of Shelley (née Stevens), an American homemaker
who works as Portman’s agent, and Avner Hershlag, an Israeli citizen who
is a fertility specialist and gynecologist. Portman’s maternal
ancestors were Jewish immigrants to the United States (from Austria and
Russia); her mother’s family had changed their surname from “Edelstein”
to “Stevens”. Her paternal grandparents were Jews from Poland and
Romania. Natalie’s paternal grandfather, Zvi Yehuda Hershlag, was born
in Poland, in 1914, and moved to then-Mandatory Palestine, where he was
an economics professor, in 1938 Zvi’s parents died at Auschwitz.
Natalie’s Romanian-born great-grandmother was a spy for British
Intelligence during World War II.
Portman’s parents met at a Jewish
student center at Ohio State University, where her mother was selling
tickets. They corresponded after her father returned to Israel and were
married when her mother visited a few years later. In 1984, when Portman
was three years old, the family moved to the United States, where her
father received his medical training. Portman, a dual citizen of the
United States and Israel, has said that although she “really loves the
States… my heart’s in Jerusalem. That’s where I feel at home.
