Two-time Golden Globe Award winner, Natalie Portman shared a heartfelt message in honor for Jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on September 18, 2020, at 87, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Portman expressed how much devastated she was for the enormous loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and described her as “a beacon of light, wisdom, and justice.” ‘Then The Other Boleyn Girl’ actress added:
“She was my hero, as she was for so many people, and I feel so grateful for her decades of service to our country, as well as the example of the life she lived of the most extraordinary love story, a tight-knit family, and deep appreciation of culture alongside her profound professional contributions.”
Then the actress quoted from NPR’s Nina Totenberg:
“A Jewish teaching says those who die just before the Jewish new year are the ones God has held back until the last moment because they were needed most and were the most righteous.”
As known, the second woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights.
Portman concluded her message by thanking Ginsburg for devoting her life to justice.
“May your memory be a revolution.”
