- Winona Ryder as Beth, Nina's friend
- Vincent Cassel as Yevna, director of a new stage production
- Barbara Hershey as Nina's mother

Production
In 2007, the studio Universal Pictures acquired the project Black Swan with Darren Aronofsky attached to direct and John McLaughlin to write. The director and the writer proposed a detailed outline of the film to Universal after the release of Aronofsky's The Fountain, and the studio chose to fast-track Black Swan. In June 2009, the studio placed the project in turnaround, generating attention from other studios and specialty divisions, particularly with actor Natalie Portman attached to star. Black Swan began development under Protozoa Pictures and Overnight Productions, the latter financing the film. In July 2009, actor Mila Kunis was cast in a lead role as a rival dancer to Portman's character. In November 2009, Fox Searchlight Pictures became the co-financier and distributor for Black Swan. The film was given a production budget of $10-12 million, and principal photography was scheduled to begin in New York City before the end of 2009. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the screenplay was written by Mark Heyman based on an original screenplay by Andre Heinz.
