Portman walks out of Wuthering Heights 
Natalie Portman has walked out of the new film Wuthering Heights. The
Hollywood actress has reportedly left movie bosses fuming after quitting
her role as Cathy Earnshaw in the big screen adaptation of Emily
Bronte's classic 1847 novel, despite having "seduced" them into giving
her the part.
A movie insider told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "It's fair to say
we were seduced by her and we should have been on our guard." Portman is
said to have made a concerted effort to convince director John Maybury
and producers Ecosse Films and HanWay Films to give her the role of
Cathy, even convincing them to allow her casting approval over the
choice of actor to portray her character's lover Heathcliff. Wuthering
Heights producers refused to comment on Portman's decision to pull out
of the project.
