2 years ago
Sarah Lane is at it again.
The professional dancer, who served as a body double for Natalie Portman in Black Swan and has said she was on camera for a major of dance scenes, spoke to 20/20 last night and said producers told her to remain quiet about her role.
“They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible… to become a professional ballerina in a year and half,” said Lane. “Even with as hard as she worked, it takes so much more.”

2 years ago
(HMG Celebrity News) – While promoting Black Swan for which she won an Oscar, Natalie Portman had talked a lot about how much prep-work she did in ballet and dance, virtually transforming her body for the role. However Natalie’s “stunt ballerina” Sarah Lane came out with an interview where she undermined Natalie, claiming people from the studio “were trying to create this facade that she had become a ballerina in a year-and-a-half. So I knew they didn’t want to publicize anything about me.” Last week Natalie Portman’s baby-daddy, on-screen dance partner and choreographer on Black Swan,

Yes, Mike Huckabee said he was “troubled” by Natalie Portman’s pregnancy this week.
