Natasha Henstridge was born in Springdale, Newfoundland, Canada and raised in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. 
At the age of 14, she left home to begin her modelling career in the highly-competitive Paris fashion world. She landed her first cover on French Cosmopolitan when she was only 15 and has since graced the covers of many international fashion magazines. 
She also appeared in commercials for such products as Lady Stetson, Oil of Olay and Old Spice.
While modeling in France gave Natasha the recognition she deserved as a beautiful woman, she quickly became bored by her job and did not feel that she was being challenged enough. She sought something more exciting and presented herself with a new creative challenge: acting. Blurring the lines between acting and modeling, Natasha's first role was in the science fiction feature film, Species. The role of Sil, the alien in a woman's body trying to get pregnant in order to reproduce her alien species, still demanded a beautiful face and figure, both of which Natasha possessed. She was chosen among over 100 other hopefuls, and although she was one of the less experienced women to audition, she succeeded in portraying her seductive yet evil character.
