Natasha's father was an avid traveler and believed that life on wheels is the best pastime. However, this way of life did not suit the growing girl, and when she was just 14, the young Hensdridge left school and left her parents. Beautiful appearance, high growth, an ideal figure allowed her to become a model.

Model business

Her career, Natasha Henstridge, whose biography then opened her first creative page, began in Paris at the age of 15. Her photo appeared on the cover of the glossy magazine Cosmopolitain, the demand for the young model was unprecedented, all the podiums of France were open to the beautiful woman from Canada. However, soon Henstridge moved to New York, where she continued her career.

After five years, she became cramped in the modeling business, and Henstridge decided to become an actress.

Debut in the cinema

Henstridge and Lambert

In 1996, the second film was shot with Natasha Henstridge - "Adrenaline: The Fear of Chasing" directed by Albert Pune.

Failure

In the same year Natasha Henstridge performed the main role in the film "Maximum Risk" directed by Ringo Lama. Here, her partner in the shooting was Jean-Claude Van Damme. And since this Hollywood actor never parted with a large-caliber pistol, it was clear from the very beginning that the film was an action-packed action movie with chases and shooting. Character Henstridge, Alex Minetti, faithful friend of Alan Moro (Jean-Claude), a policeman. Knowledgeable people predicted the picture failure during the filming, due to a weak script and the lack of a clear storyline. So it happened - the film failed at the box office, collecting only half of the money spent on production. However, Van Damme's game was singled out by critics as his next success, and Natasha Henstridge won first place in the ranking of the sexiest actresses participating in action films.

The first dramatic role

After several action-packed fighters, the actress received an invitation in 1998 to appear in the film "Beautiful Donna" with a melodramatic plot. Famous Brazilian filmmaker, Fabio Barrett, Oscar winner, decided to entrust the role of a romantic girl to an actress who was already accustomed to a heavy revolver. But, as soon as the shooting began, Natasha's tender female nature broke free, and she coped with the task perfectly. All the episodes shot in a paradise corner, among white dunes, emerald waves and coconut palms, were played by the actress impeccably.

Year 2000

This year was the most fruitful for Natasha Henstridge: the actress starred in five films. The picture "From fate do not go away" director Stephen Feder tells of Charlie and Anna, who are preparing each for their wedding: he has a bride, she has a fiance.
