Natalya Rudakova : Transporter 3 Babes
Natalya Rudakova is a model and an actress. She is best known for her role as the female lead in the action thriller Transporter 3
She was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Her parents moved with her from Russia to New York when she was 17 years old, and she continues to reside in New York
While working as a hairdresser at a salon, she was discovered by Luc Besson, the co-writer of Transporter 3, in New York, when she crossed a street. He gave her acting lessons and cast her as the female lead in Transporter 3
Roger Ebert was notably impressed by her casting in Transporter 3, saying of her freckles, "Look at those freckles. I can never get enough of freckles. In the movies, they're usually limited to a sprinkling on a moppet nose. When you see a beautiful woman with freckles, as for example, the adorable actress Julianne Nicholson, you rejoice. Despite this, many professional film critics wrote that her scenes were a weak part in the film.
