Nathalie Kelley strikes a lot of people as a woman that kind comes and goes when it comes to Hollywood, though she’s been working pretty steadily in the industry for a while now. Her presence is quite elegant and she’ll make an appearance in a way that’s fitting for the role and for a woman of her stature as well as reputation. She seems to light up on the screen no matter what role she’s playing and is quite vibrant, enough so that it’s kind of surprising as to why she hasn’t been more prevalent in film throughout her career. But it could be that like so many others she picks and chooses her spots carefully so as not to get overwhelmed or suffer a burnout that other actors have unfortunately learned is possible. While she might not exist at the level of a megastar she’s made quite a successful career for herself and has managed to stick around and continue to snag roles that are perfect for her.
Here are a few things you might not have known about her.
10. She’s done a lot of volunteer work in her life.
It’s nice to see celebrities taking the time to get out and help others and make good use of their influence when they see the need. A lot of famous people have decided to take up causes that they feel strongly about throughout the years.
9. She was in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.
A lot of people kind of discounted this movie as a throwaway in the Fast & Furious franchise but honestly and truly it fit in perfectly the way the films went afterward, so well in fact that you can almost believe that the producers had a plan all laid out.
8. She wanted to be an actress from the time she was very young.
There was no doubt in her mind what she wanted to do and after a while she finally made her way into the spotlight where she wanted to be. Her career has been pretty solid for awhile you can imagine that she’s pretty happy.
7. She’s been in a Bruno Mars video.
This isn’t the only music video she’s been in but it’s been one of the most prominent since Bruno Mars hit his stride and didn’t stop. In fact he’s still kicking it at the top of his game for the most part and Nathalie is doing her best to keep in the game as well and doing just as well in some respects.
6. She had a part in the Vampire Diaries.
She has to be one of the creepiest vampires you’ll ever see in this series since not only is she psychic but apparently she’s able to shut down parts of the brain in order to incapacitate people and make them do whatever she wants. Now that’s a dangerous power.
5. Her career started in 2005.
So she’s been in the industry for a little over a decade, enough time to learn the ins and outs and gain a reputation as well as make some inroads towards securing a bit of security that will allow her to stick around. It is about who you know and what you know sometimes.
4. She went to the same school as Nicole Kidman.
Obviously not at the same time, but she attended the same institution that Kidman did a while back so that’s something to take note of. In fact a few people have gone to that same school it would seem.
3. Her following on social media is kind of impressive.
It’s kind of interesting to wonder if any actor starts up their own social media feed or if some of them, or a lot of them, have reps to do this and others to start up the feeds and get them flowing while the celebrities monitor them from time to time.
2. She’s on the show Dynasty.
The older shows have definitely been making a comeback throughout the last several years and have been for the most part struggling just to stay relevant. Whether it’s in the movies or on TV the nostalgic feel of the old programs is great for some people but it’s honestly not as great as it used to be since those shows had their time and place and in the modern era some of them kind of fall flat. It’s not really the actors’ fault but it’s a bit lamentable that they have to be the ones to try to revive them.
1. She enjoys getting into character for a role.
For some actors getting into a role means going full bore and acting like that character the whole time they’re on the set. Nathalie enjoys getting into the mindset of another character so that she can play the role that much better. But she doesn’t go overboard with it.
She’s a fun actress to watch since she seems to put a lot of heart into her characters.
