Did you know that in Leon Natalie Portman protested against smoking as Mathilda. She was afraid it would be a bad influence on the children. She only agreed after Luc Besson explained that her character would quit smoking during the film.

My father was a horse trainer and had me at 53. I am the youngest of 4. My father rented this movie when I was a child. We lived in MD just outside DC. We encourage creatives to smoke and drink. Drinking under the table was something my family encouraged.

Cocaine use was also encouraged in order to expand the mind. My first love was a smoker and looked similar to this character.
