Natasha
Henstridge was born August 15, 1974, in Springdale, Newfoundland, Canada. After
growing up in a trailer park in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, Natasha took off
to Paris at the age of 14 to pursue a modeling career. By
the time she was 15, Natasha had become a model for Oil of Olay, Lady Stetson
and Old Spice, appearing in ads and commercials for the beauty products and fragrances.
She also graced the cover of French Cosmopolitan, as well as various international
fashion magazines. While
modeling in France gave Natasha the recognition she deserved as a beautiful woman,
she quickly became bored by her job and did not feel that she was being challenged
enough. She sought something more exciting and presented herself with a new creative
challenge: acting.
Blurring
the lines between acting and modeling, Natasha's first role was in the science
fiction feature film, Species. The role of Sil, the alien in a woman's body trying
to get pregnant in order to reproduce her alien species, still demanded a beautiful
face and figure, both of which Natasha possessed. She was chosen among over 100
other hopefuls, and although she was one of the less experienced women to audition,
she succeeded in portraying her seductive yet evil character. Natasha won an MTV
Award for Best Kiss, which she shared with her Species co-star.
Presently
living in Los Angeles, the actress that topped Femmes Fatales magazine's "Sci-Fi's
Sexy 50" list is also the mother of Tristan River Waite, her son with fiancé
Liam Waite.
