A native of New Orleans, Natasha Marc is the ingenuous eyed girl-next-door with a flair for fashion and a captivating hometown charm. From a young age, she was drawn to the world of film, theater, and performing arts, often recreating scenes from TV shows in her home and participating school plays without realizing it could be a career. Her modeling journey began at age 4, through school and city pageants, which led to hair shows, igniting her passion for performing and capturing an audience's attention. Today, Natasha's Authentic portrayals of strong female characters embody the essence of Black excellence, cementing her legacy as one of Hollywood's brightest stars.
Natasha has faced significant challenges in her life, many of which have shaped her as an actress. One of the most defining moments was surviving Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a natural disaster that led her to relocate to Los Angeles. Now an actress, she is known for her unparalleled work ethic and a spirit of continuous learning that makes her a sought-after talent.
After moving to Los Angeles, Natasha focused on personal growth, strengthening her faith in God, and honing her craft by training with some of the most respected acting coaches in the city. She also studied at the prestigious London Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
In 2016, Natasha made her network television debut in the Season 1 premiere of Cinemax's hit show *Quarry*, where she portrayed Donna, a sassy and striking afro wearing woman enjoying a jazz lounge alongside Peter Mullan. Since then, she has had the privilege of portraying a range of powerful and most memorable characters from bold, eccentric wives to a 1930s assassin and an entitled 1800s slave. Natasha's alluring edgy presence and innate confidence make her on-screen performances both intriguing and instinctive. She is currently a recurring character on Seasons 1 and 3 of Paramount+'s *Mayor of Kingstown*, playing Sherri "Cherry" Maxwell, a resilient and captivating inmate with a storyline that leaves audiences wanting more. Natasha has also worked with industry heavyweights like Jamie Foxx, Ethan Hawke, Dianne Wiest, and Jeremy Renner, all of whom she considers masterful teachers.
Reflecting on her journey, Natasha says, being "Born and raised in New Orleans", holds a deeper meaning for me. I saw talent all around me with no opportunities for expression. I watched some of that dismissed as just a dream, some boxed in just within the city and most of the talent die in the streets. My parents, both high school dropouts, did what they could with what little they knew. Pursuing a career in the arts was unheard of in my family-it was either become a lawyer or a doctor, but most importantly, just graduate high school.
Moving to Los Angeles, I realized how much more there was to life and how important it was to never give up on that little girl who dreamed the impossible. Because I wasn't nurtured or supported in that way, I learned to rely on myself, but I also discovered how competitive and lonely that could be. I turned to God, got wiser, stronger, smarter and determined. I began aspiring for things I once never knew existed. No longer doubting my dreams, but living them. I knew my purpose. It was no longer an option-it was my destiny."
