I like Natalie Portman: she has it all!
Smart, beautiful, talented, opinionated...
The USPS got away on a technicality from its own rule of non-portraying living persons on stamps.
They claim that those stamps portray her movie character, not the private citizen Natalie Portman, still alive today.
USPS wants a person to be "maggot food" for 5 years before even considering issuing a stamp to honor him/her (1 year for US presidents).
Natalie, if you want to create personalized stamps with YOU, the real person, you can do it even NOW.
Choose from USA, ISRAEL and some 20 more countries who currently issue such stamps.
Explore my blog for ideas and examples.
I have already designed such stamps, from several countries.
Email me, if you have any question.

"Natalie Hershlag[1][2] (Hebrew: נטלי הרשלג; born June 9, 1981), better known by her stage name Natalie Portman, is an actress with dual American and Israeli citizenship.
Her first role was as an orphan taken in by a hitman in the 1994 French action film Léon, but major success came when she was cast as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.[3]
In 1999, she enrolled at Harvard University to study psychology while still working as an actress.[4]
She completed her bachelor's degree in 2003.
In 2001, Portman opened in New York City's Public Theater production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.[3]
In 2005, Portman received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as well as winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture for the drama Closer.
She shaved her head and learned to speak with a British accent for her starring role in V for Vendetta (2006), for which she won a Constellation Award for Best Female Performance, and a Saturn Award for Best Actress.
She played leading roles in the historical dramas Goya's Ghosts (2006) and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008).
In May 2008, she served as the youngest member of the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival jury.[5] Portman's directorial debut, Eve, opened the 65th Venice International Film Festival's shorts competition in 2008.[6]
In 2011, Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance as Nina in Black Swan."
"Portman, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel,[16] has said that although she "really love[s] the States... my heart's in Jerusalem. That's where I feel at home."
It's refreshing to speak your mind. I respect that. :)
"Natalie Portman at the TIFF 2009-01 at the premiere of "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits", directed by Don Roos, during the Toronto International Film Festival, 2009."
"Owing to her scientific publications, Portman is among a very small number of professional actors with a finite Erdős–Bacon number"
"A person's Erdős–Bacon number is the sum of one's Erdős number—which measures the "collaborative distance" in authoring mathematical papers between that person and Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős—and one's Bacon number—which represents the number of links, through roles in films, by which the individual is separated from American actor Kevin Bacon. The lower the number, the closer a person is to Erdős and Bacon, and this reflects a small world phenomenon in academia and entertainment."
Read about the fascinating personality of this "Pal": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s
Paul Erdős, "The Man Who Loved Only Numbers", is one of the very few men in history who never liked sex, of any kind. Although he tried it, he NEVER liked it.
Sex is nothing, mathematics is everything - for him, I might specify.
"Paul Erdős (occasionally spelled Erdos or Erdös; Hungarian: Erdős Pál, pronounced [ˈɛrdøːʃ ˈpaːl]; 26 March 1913 – 20 September 1996) was a Hungarian mathematician."
"Throughout his career, Erdős would offer prizes for solutions to unresolved problems.[30] These ranged from $25 for problems that he felt were just out of the reach of current mathematical thinking, to several thousand dollars for problems that were both difficult to attack and mathematically significant."
If YOU solve such a problem, you could get paid, in a PayPál transaction...:)

Time for another stretch (of imagination)...
Let's say that the third maxicard from top-down is the charm.
That duel maxicard shows, in my twisted imagination, an inverted heart shape (kind of) laid down on the floor, under the warrior from the left side, with the tip of heart in the background, towards a galaxy far, far away...
