In the next issue of the New York Times Magazine, A.O. Scott introduces the 15 actors who defined cinema in 2010, a list that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Chloë Moretz, Vincent Cassel, James Franco, Noomi Rapace, Tilda Swinton and Natalie Portman, who’s pictured on the cover. The Magazine asked all 15 stars to adopt screen types, both in photographs and in videos, all of which will appear later today at nytimes.com/magazine. Here’s an early look at the clip featuring Portman, in which she channels a 1940s-style starlet like Veronica Lake or Rita Hayworth. http://nataliaportman.blogspot.com/
