Some people are born to fit into a mold, and some are born to break it. Natalie Burn belongs to the second category. From a young ballerina in Kyiv to a Hollywood action star and producer, she’s charted her own course with a mix of talent, determination, and an unwavering belief in herself.
Natalie—born Natalia Guslistaya—grew up in Ukraine, training in ballet at the world-renowned Bolshoi Ballet School in Moscow before moving on to the Royal Ballet School in London. Ballet was her first love, and she dedicated years to perfecting her craft. But as much as she admired the beauty of dance, something inside her longed for more freedom, more expression, and ultimately, a bigger stage.
The transition wasn’t easy. Moving from ballet to acting meant starting from scratch, but Natalie was never one to back down from a challenge. She threw herself into acting classes and became a lifetime member of The Actors Studio, proving that she wasn’t just another pretty face—she had the skills, the work ethic, and the hunger to make it in Hollywood.
Breaking into Hollywood isn’t for the faint of heart, but Natalie is nothing if not relentless. She landed roles in high-octane films like The Expendables 3, where she held her own alongside some of the biggest action stars in the business. Her performances in an Emmy winning TV Series Studio City, The Last Redemption, Fortress, Downhill, and Acceleration further solidified her reputation as a dynamic, physically capable actress who could bring both strength and depth to her roles.
What sets Natalie apart is her ability to merge grace with power. Her years of ballet training made her a natural when it came to executing complex fight scenes and stunts. But beyond that, she brought something rare to action films—a sense of elegance and precision that made her performances truly stand out.
Natalie isn’t just content with acting—she’s also a storyteller. Recognizing the power of creating her own opportunities, she founded 7Heaven Productions and Born To Burn Films. Through her work as a producer, she’s not only secured leading roles for herself but has also created space for other talented artists to thrive.
One of her most exciting recent projects is Til Death Do Us Part (2023), where she takes on the role of a bride who must fight for her life against a group of vengeful groomsmen. It’s the kind of role that perfectly blends her physical prowess with her ability to bring complex emotions to the screen.
Hollywood loves to put people in boxes, but Natalie Burn refuses to be defined by anyone else’s expectations. She’s proven that success isn’t about following a predetermined path—it’s about forging your own. Whether she’s taking on action-packed roles, producing films, or inspiring others with her journey, Natalie is a force to be reckoned with.
Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and sheer willpower. It’s proof that no matter where you start, if you’re willing to put in the work, you can rewrite your own script. And for Natalie Burn, the best is yet to come.
