The earth trembles as Star Wars: Episode I finally goes into wide release at one minute after midnight on May 19. The mega-mega-blockbuster makes over $420 million in the US by the end of the summer, despite the fact that nobody seems to like it very much. As part of the massive marketing blitz Natalie's lovely face shows up on everything from Diet Pepsi cans to children's underwear.

At the same time as The Phantom Menace hits theaters Natalie turns 18 and graduates from high school. The wall between her private and professional lives begins to crumble as a new breed of creepy "fans" auction off her yearbook and distribute private photos of her graduation. Natalie endures it gracefully and begins filming Where The Heart Is in Texas in June.
