Natalie portman tells 'a tale of love and darkness'

Award-winning Hollywood actress shares the story behind her directorial debut

"It's like, I guess you caught me! I'm a nerd!" Natalie Portman says, laughing.

She's talking about frenzied internet responses to a recent interview that she did with author Jonathan Safran Foer. The New York Times Style Magazine asked Foer to interview Portman about her directorial debut, A Tale of Love and Darkness. They weren't in the same city, and thus did the interview over email, which the magazine then coyly presented as actual emails between the two friends.
