Life Story

Natalie got her start in the business when a talent agent discovered her at a pizza parlor. Soon after she landed the role as the young girl Mathilda in the action movie The Professional. Critics raved about the young actress’s debut and Natalie quickly found work to sharpen her talents as an actress.

In the mid nineties she starred in such films as Beautiful Girls (also starring Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino and Lauren Holly), Mars Attacks, and Anywhere But Here (starring Yvonna Kopacz). As Natalie became older, and thus more attractive, she was encouraged to do nude and sex scenes, but Natalie decided to wait until the Wes Anderson short film Hotel Chevalier to do so.

In 1998 she starred as Queen Amidala in the film Star Wars: Phantom Menace (Keira Knightley played her impersonator.). The film became the highest grossing film of the year and secured Natalie’s position as a prominent actress in Hollywood. But that same year Natalie announced she was taking a break from acting (aside from the Star Wars Trilogy) so she could focus on getting her college degree at Harvard (Kind of like when you turned down that job at 7-11 so you could finish your studies at the local community college). Natalie graduated in 2003 and after finishing the Stars Wars trilogy, starred in the films Garden State and Closer (also starring Julia Roberts). In 2005 she starred in V For Vendetta. In this film she had to shave her head for a scene, and yet amazingly she still looked unbelievably hot.

Natalie is currently dating Devendra Banhart.
