Natalie Lander, Actress-Episode #402
Natalie Lander was inspired to become an actress by watching her dad, David L. Lander, who was best known for playing “Squiggy” on Laverne & Shirley. Natalie has built a résumé that includes a wide range of credits as both a performer and creator.
On camera, Natalie has had recurring guest star roles on The Middle, Lopez, and Major Crimes. Other guest-starring credits include Grey’s Anatomy, Étoile, 13 Reasons Why, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Castle, Hannah Montana, and more.
She voiced “Goldie” on Disney Jr.’s Goldie & Bear and “Stargirl” in DC’s Justice League franchise. She’s also voiced roles in prominent video games such as Saints Row, Final Fantasy, God of War, and Fire Emblem.
If you were a fan of the MTV competition show Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods, you may remember Natalie, who placed fifth in her effort to play Elle Woods on Broadway. She later wrote a one-woman show about that experience, Legally Brunette: The Search for Myself, which has had both West Coast and East Coast premieres.
Most recently, Natalie completed a run of her new show, Earth to Squiggy, at the Garry Marshall Theatre, in Burbank, California, which she co-wrote, and is set to the music of her father and Michael McKean, who played Lenny on Laverne & Shirley.
For the record, I’ve known Natalie for a couple of decades from when she sang on a demo of a song I wrote and produced with the composer, Rachael Lawrence.
