Natalie Portman recognizes this: she has not done enough for the place of women in the film industry. The star, criticized for her "hypocrisy" by Rose McGowan after having walked the red carpet of the Oscars in a dress embroidered with the names of the women who - according to her - should have been named during the ceremony, reacted by explaining that she agreed with her detractors: she should have done more.
"I agree with Mrs. McGowan, it is incorrect to say that I am courageous for having worn a garment with the names of women inscribed on it. The real courage is that of the women who have testified against Harvey Weinstein in recent weeks, under incredible pressure (…) It is true that I have made only few films with women… ”, she declared in a press release relayed by Variety .
