- Dyeing for Your Art: She had her head shaved on camera for V for Vendetta, and lost 20 pounds to play a ballerina in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.
- Even the Girls Want Her: She generates a lot If It's You It's Okay girl-crushes among her fellow actresses.
- Foot Focus: If Natalie's ever barefoot in a scene, expect close-ups of her feet.

- Identical Stranger: With Keira Knightley.
