I te 10 o ona tau, i tono tetahi kaihoko a Revlon ki a ia kia noho hei tauira tamariki, engari i paopao ia ki te aro ki te mahi. I roto i te uiuinga a te maheni, i kii a Portman he "rereke ia i era atu tamariki. He nui ake taku hiahia. I mohio ahau ki taku i pai ai, ki taku i hiahia ai, ā, i whakapau kaha ahau ki te mahi. He tamaiti tino nui ahau". I nga hararei o te kura, ka haere a Portman ki nga puni whakaari. I te 10 o ona tau, i whakamatauria a Portman mo te whakaaturanga 1992-Broadway, Ruthless!, he waiata mo te kotiro kua rite ki te kohuru kia eke ki te mahi matua i roto i te whakaari kura.
