Natalie Portman has turned down a starring role in the drama Adaline — the same part that was abandoned by Katherine Heigl last year. A rep for Portman tells that the Black Swan star was offered and declined the lead role of a woman who mysteriously stops aging after a freak accident. The project previously had a March 2011 start date when Heigl, was attached along with director Andy Tennant (The Bounty Hunter, Hitch), but it was put on hold when the actress withdrew last November.
