From playing the naive girl just off the boat from the old country to the hired assassin, Natasha has acted in hundreds of roles. She spoke Russian when she appeared as Marina Oswald, wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, on the hit TV show "Quantum Leap." She spoke Arabic as an Iraqi Lieutenant on JAG.

One of Natasha's most memorable movie sets was on "The Son of the Pink Panther," filmed at the famous Pinewood Studios in Ivers, England. Her daily routine included learning how to direct from legendary director Blake Edwards, sipping tea with Julie Andrews, and running lines with Academy Award-winner and co-star, Roberto Benigni.
While raising her daughter with longtime partner and ex-fiance, the late Tarzan actor Joe Lara, Natasha wrote many screenplays and received positive feedback from major studios. However, Natasha's writing career was temporarily halted as she had to spend a lot of time learning the law and how to represent herself in family court. A glimpse into her life during that period can be seen in the HBOmax documentary series, "The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin." Natasha has resumed writing and is eager to tell her narrative of her connection with Gwen Shamblin Lara, Remnant Fellowship, and its members.
