This glamorous lady opened her eyes in Khabarovsk, Russia
and was born to an art loving family. She had a great interest in singing and
acting since childhood and was very fond of taking part in various events in
her school. Performing to live audience was her biggest passion and she would
never miss out on any opportunity to show
off her talent and abilities. Her endearing qualities and happy positive energy
were admired by everyone. As a child, Natalia always shined amongst the
children of her age, and her acting skills were remarkable.
After moving to New Zealand, she became shy and distanced
herself from performing arts because as a teenager it was getting difficult for
her to adjust in the new culture and at the age of 16 she moved out of her
family home to find a separate place for herself. She attended a music festival
in 2001, where the director of Pavement Magazine spotted her and introduced her
to a client as he thought she had the perfect face and the charm for modeling.
Natalia happily entered the world of modeling and her success rapidly grew,
gracing magazine covers and appearing in the pages of numerous magazines. Her
looks were often compared to those of Audrey Hepburn which earned her a
nickname “Russian Audrey”.
During her modeling career, she rediscovered the lost
passion for working in front of the camera and further decided to step in to
the world of television. Her first television appearance was when she was cast
in a campaign for Magnum ice cream. After that, she was asked to campaign for
many other commercials. During an audition, she was noticed by a casting
director who made her audition for several films.Time machine, directed by Liam
Bachler was the first film that she appeared in, after that her acting career
had a jump start and now she’s established herself as a well known actress.
