Biography
Natasha Henstridge (born August 15, 1974) is a Canadian fashion
model turned actress who has starred in several movies, including
Species and Species II. Born in Springdale, Newfoundland, she was
raised in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
At the age of thirteen,
she entered the Casablanca Modeling Agency's "Look of the Year" contest
and was chosen first runner-up. The following year, Henstridge went
to Paris to pursue her modeling ambitions. At fifteen, she was featured
on her first magazine cover, the French edition of Cosmopolitan.
Several magazine covers followed and Henstridge went on to do television
commercials for products such as Olay, Old Spice, and Lady Stetson.
Her modeling career established, Henstridge decided to try her
luck in movies. Her first movie Species was a box office success.
Her role as an alien determined to reproduce with a male human at
the first opportunity, was notable for its sexual content - and for
Natasha Henstridge appearing nude. In the sequel Species
II, she returned as the sexy alien, again showing her nude body.
A few smaller movies followed, including Maximum Risk with Jean-Claude
Van Damme. In 2000, she starred in The Whole Nine Yards, which led
to its sequel The Whole Ten Yards, and also Ghosts of Mars. She has
played a number of roles on television, such as Caracara, The Outer
Limits, and She Spies. |
