Early Life
At an early age, Natalya showed a strong interest in acting, and often went to the theatre with her mother, where her enthusiasm for performing was built. During her teens, her family migrated to the US, settling in New York City, at which point Natalya took a step back from her acting interests. She didn’t pursue any significant acting projects, and decided to work as a hairdresser. It was when she was working there that she was spotted by Luc Besson, who was a co-writer of the film “Transporter 3”. He invited her to take more acting lessons, before casting her in the film he was working on, which she did for half a year, getting the chance to work with experienced film personnel.

Transporter 3
“Transporter 3” is the third and final installment of the “Transporter” trilogy, an action film starring Jason Statham and Francois Berleand. It is the first film in the series to be directed by Olivier Megaton and follows the story of Frank Martin (Statham) working as a professional transporter. He has returned to France to continue his work as a low profile package delivery guy who doesn’t ask any questions. Rudakova plays the character Valentina whom Jason’s character has to accompany, due to complications with a transport job. According to Roger, they were interested in her specifically because of her heavily freckling, unusual in leading ladies.The film was shot for 16 weeks in France, and in Odessa, Ukraine, before it was released in the US by Lionsgate Films, and opened in seventh spot at the box office, grossing a total of $109 million worldwide, making it the highest grossing film in the trilogy, also receiving $20 million in revenue from DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases. However, reviews of the film were low and critics stated that it was the weakest in the trilogy, evident with the lack of energy. Fan reviews were also ranging from mixed to average.
Other Projects
Despite the mixed success of “Transporter 3”, the film was enough to push Natalya into the limelight,t and soon she was receiving numerous acting offers. In 2010, she appeared in the television documentary mini-series entitled “The American Dream: An Illusion or Reality for Belarus Immigrants”. The following year, she had two film projects, one of which was entitled “The One”, a romantic comedy about a man who before getting married, unexpectedly falls in love with another man from his past.

Speaking of social media, it is one of the ways that Natalya has kept in touch with her followers. She maintains a strong online presence through Instagram and Facebook, though there are doubts regarding her Facebook profile as it has not been updated since 2013. Many believe that it is a fake account as it has not posted anything personal aside from professional photo shoots done in the past. Her Instagram account is legitimate, and has a lot more recent and personal photos. She mentions that she is now living in Los Angeles, and continues to do a lot of modelling work while travelling. She also goes to various public events. There have not been any new posts or information regarding upcoming projects, which implies that she may be currently inactive in terms of acting projects.
