Natalie Portman is the obvious top choice for this list, as not only is she one of the sexiest women in the world, but also one of the smartest actresses around. As a child, she learned to speak both Hebrew and English while attending a Jewish elementary school.

Portman has said that although she "really love[s] the States... my heart's in Jerusalem. That's where I feel at home."

She was actually born in Jerusalem, Israel, herself.

Fun fact: she actually skipped the premiere of Star Ward Episode I: The Phantom Menace (like all of us should have), to study for her high school final exams. She then graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in Psychology and has studied French, Japanese, German and Arabic.
