Life and Career
Natasha was raised primarily by her famous stepdad. It's hardly surprising, therefore, that the young girl expressed an early interest in acting. The tragic Catalina Island drowning of her mother on November 29, 1981, when Natasha was only 11, left deep emotional scars that would ultimately carry into the dark-edged roles she would play in Hollywood. The naturally beautiful dark-eyed and dark-haired actress certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to her famous mom. Unlike Natalie, however, Natasha has downplayed the glamor and displays a quirky, ditsy-like appeal. Refusing to conform to Hollywood standards, she has instead carved out her own individual path, finding herself much more attracted to offbeat and unconventional material. She debuted in a minor part in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) and initially went around playing cute and plucky in such innocuous TV-movie fare as The Shaggy Dog (1994) (TV), the remake of the 1950s Disney classic, and the juvenile delinquent 1950s spoof Dragstrip Girl (1994) (TV), which easily recalled her mother's own classic Rebel Without a Cause (1955). In 1995 Natasha had a top role in one of the "Hart to Hart" TV mini-movies that served to reunite her stepfather with former co-star Stefanie Powers. Natasha portrayed one of the victims. In more recent years, she has appeared in less independent films and resorted to guest roles on TV shows like "House" (2004) in 2008. Natasha had a long-term relationship with Josh Evans.
