1. Natalie Portman – Léon: The Professional (1994)

At just 12, Natalie Portman made everyone in the cinema lose their breath with her incredible debut in Léon: The Professional as Mathilda, a young girl caught in a vicious world of violence and blood retribution. Heartbreaking as it was, Portman brought out such remarkable depth to the part, perfectly balancing vulnerability with fierce determination. This early role would, therefore set her up for this glorious career in a spotlight of challenging complex roles charged emotionally well early enough before such was done and it can still shine well today.
