- Actress

Natasha Henstridge was born on August 15, 1974 in Springdale,
Newfoundland, Canada. Known for movies like
Species (1995) and
The Whole Nine Yards (2000),
she started her career as a model in Paris, France at the tender age of
15. After leaving home to begin her modeling career in the
highly-competitive Paris fashion world, she landed her first cover of
French Cosmopolitan and graced the covers of many international fashion
magazines, appearing in commercials for Oil of Olay, Lady Stetson and
Old Spice. Seeking a greater challenge, Natasha pursued her love of
acting and, at only 19, landed the starring role of the science-fiction
thriller Species (1995), opposite Sir
Ben Kingsley and
Forest Whitaker. The film became a
worldwide hit critically and commercially and Natasha received praise
for her performance as the genetically-modified Sil, including an MTV
Award. Not since the Hitchcock era had someone redefined the "femme
fatale" for a new generation. This began a recognized film career that
has spanned over 35 movies to date.
From conquering comedy with Bruce Willis in
The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
to taking the action-heroine lead in
John Carpenter's science-fiction
thriller Ghosts of Mars (2001),
Natasha has proved herself to be a versatile and fearless actress. She
won the Best Actress Gemini Award (Canada's equivalent of an Emmy
Award) for her hard-hitting portrayal of a policeman's wife in the
miniseries
Would Be Kings (2008) and
starred with Geena Davis in the Golden
Globe-winning series
Commander in Chief (2005).
Her television credits include leading roles in hit series and
She Spies (2002) and
Eli Stone (2008), and voicing Miss
Ellen on South Park (1997).
Recently, she returned to movies, starring with
Paul Sorvino and
Joe Mantegna in the forthcoming period
drama The Bronx Bull (2016),
playing the wife of legendary boxer Jake LaMotta. Natasha is the
youngest actress to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
Temecula Film Festival, and recently was honored with the Queen
Elizabeth II Award from her homeland of Canada.
Natasha is married to actor and platinum-selling recording artist
Darius Campbell and they live in Los
Angeles, California with her two children Tristan, 14, and Asher, 11.
They enjoy skiing and traveling the world, and are involved in
humanitarian efforts including St Jude Children's Research Hospital,
World Vision and Fresh2o water charity. Natasha also divides her time
between the two coasts, as she continues to be in demand as a model,
while pursuing a blossoming career as an actress.
