The Year in Pictures

I started acting at the age of 13 , I started acting because I had a stuttering problem because I was very shy and I wouldn't talk to anybody. but I was in chorus at 13 years old and then one day my teacher says I want you sing a solo. as I was singing a solo a drama teacher came in and told me I had a great voice and I should try out for a play. I said no at first but a few days I went to the theater and I looked at the play. and I said all right I'll try it and he goes right now and I said yes let me do before I change my mind.. I got on stage and they were doing Annie so I sang the sun will come out tomorrow Capella.. they offered me the role of Annie... but I said no I rather be one of the orphans, after that I started doing other plays started touring with acting companies off Broadway plays and more...also studied improve, meaner and method acting ...then I started doing background work for a few shows...then I wrote my first short story that was I was giving advice by a major a- list actor can't say his name... and I wrote my first short story send it in.. it didn't make it to the final ,,. Because there was a clicking sound of the camera that I did not know. after that I started writing more stories got cast in feature films and before you know it people started recognizing me....and casting more and more films. but before that I was always a singer I must have done over 12,000 shows festivals live concerts birthday parties nursing homes military shows ,you name it I sang.. I sang with a guy we were called Rock and Robin I learned the '50s '60s '70s and I learned of course I know the '80s but after singing with him for over 12 years in between that I was doing my acting too. I have done over 50 films over 100 interviews cable, radio, magazines, even was a co- host for a cable show and I had my own radio show too. ,modeling, acting, singing producing casting, directing and I plan to do more... I just came back from Texas filming a TV pilot and up for other future films I signed with D&D Entertainment I'm also with image talent entertainment , Baws Entertainment, and I'm also with Charles Brooks who is also my co-writer and has been my manager for 10 years .ive written many screenplays one filming soon called Jessica lives , which is based on true facts...I'm known as the it girl for 2024 known from magazines I won awards for global influence for the year or 2024 and I'm nominated for another award for the new Scream Queen which is totally unreal. I'm doing a movie soon that is a true story called Westside highway I'm playing a really good role a lead role can't tell you what it's about.. also writing a comedy right now an a-list who hired me to write it..There is a lot coming up for 2024 , 2025, 2026 2027 and beyond, I'm totally booked I'm doing a movie playing a sheriff with Mike Simmons soon, who is also in some of my movies and I'm producer in his movies. People see me as one take Natalie because I shoot one take when I'm shooting a film... I once did a movie and I did 22 scenes in 2 days that's why everybody calls me one take Natalie. in Texas I did a pilot three different scenes in three takes and I was done which was a 2-day shoot turned out to be a one-day shoot...my character was with a mid eastern accent , which I can do so many accents, I pick up accents pretty fast ,,,people see me as Marilyn Monroe and 60"S actresses , not because I look like them... it's because of the popularity that I get from other people. I never saw myself as a model and I still don't.. I don't think of myself as beautiful I think of myself as okay, I'm also a tomboy I do my own stunts too.. I'm actually a goofball to be honest. I take direction well, directors tell me I have charisma and I have an edge. I'm actually still very shy . I don't watch my own movies I can't watch myself on TV or anything else. I just shot a commercial and did a photo shoot ..people were telling me how talented I am but .. I'm still shy, . I do know I have a talent and I do know that I am a natural in front of the camera, I always was I've done stage over 50 plays in my younger days and I consider myself a good actress and not because I'm conceited it's because that's what I'm told from all the directors and producers I work with. I'm a total professional I can read a script less than an hour remember my lines and remember everybody else's lines too... , I'm always a professional and I'm considered not typecast because I could play any role I welcome any challenge.. even though I have health obstacles ... no matter how I feel I'm on set all the time, ...This is my bio and I want to thank everyone and everyone that has been with me, and the people that I have met through my journey, who have believed in me and I want to thank you for believing in me.. because of you this is why I do it and of course my fans I love my fans without my fans I'm nobody and that's the truth. My dream now is to sing for movies ,TV shows I was offered a record contract recently.. and I turned it down because if it was 7 years ago I would have jumped at the chance but I rather just sing for movies and TV shows. I do miss the stage and I really want to make a movie musical which I'm also in the process of writing that too. In 2015 I was interviewed and they asked what my dream was I said I want to be an icon, I want to have so many scripts so I can choose from and choose which one I want to do..and it looks like my dream has come true.. because I'm reading scripts all the time.. and I'm at the point where I can choose what movie I want to do and what TV show I want to do so my dream is coming true.. and I thank you God for always being with me
