Natasha Henstridge

This is the 128th post in our Celebrity of the Day series.



Natasha Henstridge was born in 1974 in Canada. She was 13 when she entered a modeling contest and was chosen as first runner-up. That led to her wanting to become a serious model and the following year she went to Paris to pursue her modeling career. She was featured on the cover of her first magazine at the age of 15.

She continued being featured on magazine covers and was eventually chosen to star in television commercials for Old Spice and Olay. Once she felt she had created a successful modeling career she turned her attention to acting.

She was 21 when she got her first film role in the movie Species. She played the starring role of Sil an alien/human hybrid. The movie was a major hit at the box office and was a great jumping off point for Natasha's career.

Unfortunately most of the movies that followed were not successful movies, this included her role in Species II. In 2000 she starred in The Whole Nine Yards and the Whole Ten Yards both of which were relatively successful movies.

She continued to act in relatively unsuccessful movies and even did some work in television series but her roles were either minor or the series was soon canceled, such as her role in Eli Stone and She Spies.

Her most recent roles are in the movies Anytown and Let the Game Begin.
