Now Portman has responded toMcGowan slamming her ensembleas deeply offensive on social media.
The gift has been these incredible films.

As so many of them do.
Im not writing this out of bitterness, I am writing out of disgust.
I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk.
McGowan also called out Portman for not working with many female directors during her lengthy career.
In her statement Wednesday, Portman said, It is true Ive only made a few films with women.
Unfortunately, the unmade films I have tried to make are a ghost history.
If these films do get made, women face enormous challenges during the making of them.
So I want to say, I have tried, and I will keep trying.
While I have not yet been successful, I am hopeful that we are stepping into a new day.
