“From Innocence to Edginess: Discover the Surprising Debuts of Hollywood Icons in Their First R-Rated Roles!”
Natalie Portman Léon: The Professional (1994)
Natalie Portman started off her career with a bang— literally. Her first on-screen role was in Léon: The Professional, a 1994 film about an orphaned child who forms an unlikely friendship with a French, middle-aged hitman. Natalie was just 11 years old at the time.
Her character, Mathilda, finds out that her family has been murdered and she decides that she wants revenge. Natalie’s acting talents were evident from the very beginning. We all knew that she was going to be a huge star.
Meryl Streep The Deer Hunter (1978)
Meryl Streep is considered the greatest actress of all time by movie buffs and casual movie watchers alike. She has an impressive amount of Oscar awards to her name, and while some people think she’s overrated, there’s no denying her natural talent.
The first time she was in an R-rated film was in 1978. Streep played Linda in Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter, which ended up winning an Oscar for Best Picture. Streep was just 28 years old at the time.
Jodie Foster Taxi Driver (1976)
Jodie Foster jumped into the acting business in a very mature way. She was just 12 years old when she starred in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver. Not only is Taxi Driver an R-rated film, but Jodie played a prostitute in the movie. That’s heavy stuff for any 12-year-old.
