Natalie Jean

Actor, filmmaker, and stuntwoman, Natalie was born on April 18th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her background in classical dance and modeling eventually led to a career in film and TV. As a teen she assisted her performing arts school with production of their stage shows and worked as their active ballet mistress from age 17, while also performing as a principal dancer with their preprofessional ballet company, Ballet Forte.

After graduating from Goucher College with a dance degree in 2008 she worked various modeling jobs between NYC and LA, and appeared in music videos for bands such as New Found Glory, Three6Mafia, and The 69 Eyes. The latter was directed by Jackass member Bam Margera, who has continued to influence her work through friendship and collaboration. Other influences include stuntman Douglas Crosby, who has mentored Jean since their meeting on an episode of Law & Order in 2009.

After being cast in several horror films by movie director Adam Ahlbrandt and effects artist Doug Sakmann, she commenced her producing career in conjunction with the two men. She has since worked on a variety of projects with the duo, both in front of and behind the camera. From their work they have won a number of awards including Best Film, Best Horror Film, and Best Use of Blood/Violence.

Jean received the Newcomer Award at the 2013 Pollygrind Film Festival in Las Vegas, Best Actress award at Chicago's 2013 Portage International Film Festival, and was nominated by HorrorSociety.com for Favorite Scream Queen of 2014.
