Natalie Burn was born in Kyiv, Ukraine and from a young age, dreamed of being a movie star. She spent her childhood devoted to dance and became a professional ballerina who trained with the Royal Ballet

School and performed with the Bolshoi Ballet. But the acting bug kept biting, so she bought a one-way ticket to Los Angeles to pursue her dream. Now, with numerous films and acting projects under her belt, she can be seen starring in the just released action-packed indie film TIL DEATH DO US PART. Natalie portrays a runaway bride who ends up
