Theres a new star rising in Hollywood. Natasha Loring is not only gorgeous, shes a really nice person and a very talented actor. Her future slate as a growing brand in show business is almost inevitable. So is success. She presently stars in Girl you Know Its True, about the Milli Vanilli mime and music scandal in the eighties.
Born into South Africas entertainment industry, Loring was surrounded by the arts from a young age. Her father is legendary theatre producer Richard Loring . I grew up in the entertainment industry, she said. Singing, dancing, and acting from a very early age; it was always something I was passionate about.
She said that her childhood was nothing short of magical. The theatre was her playground, and she often found herself amidst the hustle and bustle of her dads productions. I remember doing my homework backstage during rehearsals, she shared. It was an immersive environment. Watching performers rehearse, seeing the behind-the-scenes action. It was all part of my daily life.
Her first major break came while still completing her studies. She was cast as the romantic lead in the South African feature film Hitch-hiker. It instantly set the stage for a career that would take her far beyond Mzansis borders. After studying at film school in Cape Town, she landed a role in a film called The Natalee Holloway Story, which became the highest-rated film in the commissioning broadcasters history. That was a key moment for me, she recalled. It opened doors I hadnt even dared to knock on.
Her blossoming career quickly took her around the world, and she got to perform with industry giants. In the 2013 Cannes exhibited film Zulu she acted with Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker. She also starred in BBCs Women In Love with Rosamund Pike and Web of Spies with another screen great, Christopher Lloyd. Working with such talented individuals was both daunting and exhilarating, she said. Each experience taught me something invaluable.
