The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

Jackie

Natalie Portman's stunning performance as Jackie Kennedy during her life following JFK's assassination has been deemed "iconic." Writer Noah Oppenheim told Vulture magazine, "In terms of what that interaction would look like throughout the film, it's based on what we know of how she controlled her image and interacted with the press." The most accurate part of the film is when Jackie gives a televised White House tour. Portman was nominated for Best Actress because of this role.
