Natasha Henstridge Bio:
Born on August 15, 1974 in Springdale, Newfoundland Canada,
Henstridge was raised in Ft. McMurry, Alberta. Her father Brian was a contractor
and her mother Helen, a housewife. Henstridge was barely a teen when she entered
and earned the first runner-up prize in the Casablanca Modeling Agency's
worldwide "Look of the Year" contest. At age 14, with the reluctant
blessing of her parents, Henstridge left home to pursue a modeling career in New
York and Paris. At 15 she landed on the cover of French Cosmopolitan. Numerous
other magazine covers soon followed and Henstridge went on to appear in
television commercials for products including Old Spice, Oil of Olay and Lady
Stetson.
Like so many other model-turned-actresses before her, Henstridge grew tired of
being just another pretty face and craved a more intellectually stimulating
career. She left the runways of Paris for the lights of Hollywood and never
looked back. At 21, Henstridge beat out hundreds of other doe-eyed hopefuls when
she was cast in Species for MGM. The studio was so confident in Henstridge's
star quality that even before the film's debut, they signed the gray-eyed,
statuesque beauty to a three-picture deal. Henstridge's parents, though thrilled
with their daughter's success, were somewhat apprehensive about the nude scenes
that the role required. "Can't you do Disney films?" they asked her at
the time. But Henstridge, comfortable with her body from years of modeling,
recognized this as a role that would get her noticed.
She was right. Species took in over $100 million at the box office, making
Henstridge a hot property, albeit only temporarily. She was edged out for roles
in blockbusters including Independence Day, Men in Black and L.A. Confidential
and the roles she did land in Maximum Risk, Adrenalin and Standoff were as
forgettable as the films themselves.
In 1998, Henstridge returned as an extraterrestrial in Species II playing Eve, a
kinder, gentler alien cloned from Sil's offspring and used as bait to lure yet
another errant alien wreaking havoc on earth. Much to Henstridge's
disappointment, the sequel did not fare nearly as well as the original and she
found herself tackling the Hollywood audition process all over again. Roles in
lesser known films such as Bela Donna, Dog Park, Kill You Twice and It Had to Be
You kept Henstridge busy and bankrolled, but did little to raise her profile.
Guest spots in television shows including Homeboys in Outer Space, The Outer
Limits and a voice cameo in Comedy Central's South Park also went all but
unnoticed. Rumors had Henstridge cast as a Bond girl in Tomorrow Never Dies but
it never came to pass.
Then came the comedy hit The Whole Nine Yards, in which she played mob moll
Cynthia Tudeski. Her turn as the estranged wife of a hit man (played by Bruce
Willis) who manages to charm her way out of getting whacked and falls in
love with Matthew Perry in the process, garnered critical praise and put
Henstridge back on the short list for casting agents.
In 2000 Henstridge nude appeared in the Ben Affleck/Gywneth Paltrow romantic
comedy, Bounce. Her small but pivotal role as the woman for whom Affleck, in the
hopes of having a fling, gives up his seat on an ill-fated flight to another
passenger, further increased her momentum.
In addition to Ghosts of Mars, Henstridge completed no fewer than five films
including Second Skin, Kevin of North, The Judith Exner Story, Riders and the TV
movie Beauty and Power. If that weren't enough, she's also got an energetic
toddler to take care of. Three years ago, the now 27-year-old Henstridge gave up
the Hollywood party scene to become a mum. Tristan River Waite, a healthy baby
boy, was born on October 14, 1998. His father is actor Liam Waite, Henstridge's
fiancé of the last few years and co-star in Ghosts of Mars and Second Skin.
The happy couple met when Henstridge was on a blind date with one of Waite's
friends. So far, they're in no rush to get married and are happy just basking in
the joys of parenthood. Henstridge was briefly married once before to actor
Damien Chapa in 1996 when the two eloped to Las Vegas after a six-month
courtship. The impulsive union lasted less than a year after which Chapa sued
her for spousal support. Five years later, Henstridge claims she holds no
grudges, calls Chapa her friend and writes off the whole experience as being a
little too young and "wild at heart." A reason not unlike the one she
gives for her two tattoos; on her derriere a bearded lion wearing a crown (she's
a Leo) from her own design and on her tailbone, a male and female symbol
intertwined, both of which she says were "From when I was young and
stupid."
Now a little bit older and a little bit wiser, Henstridge prefers the simple
life to that of L.A.'s fast pace. Happily settled in L.A.'s rustic Hollywood
Hills with fiancé and sons (Tristan and Asher), Henstridge is perfectly content
playing house and waiting for the scripts to come in, which they have done.
