Biographie complète
"Upon laying eyes on Moscow-native Natalia Sokolova's buoyant, circular flotation devices prominently displayed on her alluring figure, it becomes challenging to recall why we might have once harbored animosity towards our Russian counterparts. How could such an enchanting embodiment of benevolent femininity have emerged from a perceived Evil Empire? Surely, no nation hostile to Western ideals would dispatch such a captivating siren to infiltrate popular culture as a 'Baywatch' babe and Playboy centerfold in April 1999.
Born into a family of academics in Russia, Natalia's intelligence and sophistication earned her accolades and subsequently, an opportunity to participate in a high school foreign exchange program in Maryland. Her time in America seems to have sparked a transformation; post-graduation from the University of Maryland, she participated in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic competition, leading to her Playboy appearance.
Post-Playboy, Natalia secured a role in John Travolta's 2001 crime thriller 'Swordfish,' notable for Halle Berry's debut nudity but also featuring Natalia stripping down to her underwear before diving into a pool under Hugh Jackman's watchful gaze. She followed this with an episode of 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' and a role in Cuba Gooding Jr.'s 2002 comedy 'Boat Trip,' where she donned a revealing bikini, paying homage to American sexploitation film tropes.
Today, Natalia has hung up her modeling and acting hats, now operating as an event planner in New York City. Despite her career change, the impact of her past roles remains undeniable."
