Nina K is a little bit of an anomaly. No one in her Polish family has the acting gene, although she thinks her father had something and it was him who she said might be the catalyst.

From as early as 12, she knew that she wanted the bright lights and wanted to be somebody. From being sort after for modelling, she was soon snapped up by the world of entertainment in Hollywood.

Having starred in many high profile films, she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Steven Spielberg just to name drop, Billy Bob Thornton and Jet Li.

After her time in LA and turn of events brought her back to Houston.  She managed to get in to Real Estate and that is one of the many things she does today.

She is still acting in Indie and independent films. Did you know, she also became a stunt woman. There is so much to this lady.

I hope you enjoy her journey.
