It wasn’t until Mike Nichols took
action to help her land a role in Cold Mountain that things began to
turn around for her. Portman, in her own words, on how it happened:

Star Wars had come out around the time
of [The Seagull], and everyone thought I was a horrible actress. I was
in the biggest-grossing movie of the decade, and no director wanted to
work with me. Mike wrote a letter to Anthony Minghella and said, “Put
her in Cold Mountain, I vouch for her.” And then Anthony passed me on
to Tom Tykwer, who passed me on to the Wachowskis.
