Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram) smiles politely in Lady in the Lake

Summary Lady in the Lake marks a career first for Academy Award-winning actor Natalie Portman, who has dabbled in television, but never appeared in a series for more than a guest or hosting stint. While the May December star is the limited series’ biggest name, Portman’s starpower never overtakes the Apple TV+ drama — in part because she performs opposite Emmy-nominated actor Moses Ingram. Most viewers know Ingram from The Queen’s Gambit or Obi-Wan Kenobi, but that is about to change.

Moses Ingram & Natalie Portman Deliver Compelling, Lived-In Performances Lady in the Lake's ensemble cast bolsters the period crime drama Close Any logline about the show or book will tell you that Maddie ditches her less-than-happy marriage to make her mark on the world and chase her high school dream of becoming an investigative journalist.

Unlike her character, Portman knows when to wait in the wings or take center stage. Maddie pulls on threads from Natalie Portman's best movies, including her Jackie and May December characters. Maddie’s “ambition,” which she often reminds people of, is fierce and admirable, but it’s also delivered with a sad, yet pitch-perfect obliviousness.

While circumstances may be a loose link between Cleo and Maddie, deferred dreams and immersive daydreams are a shared theme.
