Natane Boudreau was raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan by her mother, a renowned fashion creative director, and her father, a professional dancer. She received training at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, UK, and the William Esper Studios in New York City.
At the tender age of three, Natane was discovered by the owner of Click Model Management, who signed her to appear in numerous advertisements for Calvin Klein, posing as Andie MacDowell's daughter, and a Vogue Bambini cover shot by Bruce Weber. She was also photographed from ages three to five in ads and editorials shot by Steven Meisel. Natane attended the liberal and esteemed Bank Street School of Education and Columbia Preparatory School until she began a full-time modeling career at the age of seventeen.
At the age of seven, Natane had her first experience with film, playing a small role in Woody Allen's Radio Days, cast by the director himself.
Natane's striking features, including her fair skin and dark hair, propelled her to a highly successful modeling career that took her to various parts of the world, including New York, London, Milan, and Paris. She walked the runways for renowned fashion houses such as Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gucci, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, and Marc Jacobs. Additionally, she graced the pages of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and W Magazine, as well as appearing in advertisements for Dolce and Gabbana, The Gap, and Clinique, all shot by Steven Meisel. She also appeared in a Shiseido ad by Richard Avedon and a Levi's ad by Albert Watson.
As a model, Natane was featured as herself in the highly acclaimed fashion documentary, Unzipped, directed by Douglas Keeve.
After retiring from the runway, in 2003, Natane quickly landed roles in two independent films: Chloe/Windy in The Pink House, playing opposite Fred Weller and Heather Matarazzo, and as Teresa in 5 Up 2 Down, with Isaach De Bankole and Kirk Acevedo.
After working on these two films, in 2003, she began her formal acting training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, where she played Puck in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Natane subsequently studied voice training with Kristen Linklater and completed the two-year program at the William Esper Acting Studio.
During her acting training, Natane co-founded the Adakia Theater Company, appearing as Medea Redux in Neil Labute's Bash; as Anna in Patrick Marber's Closer; and as Amy in Steven Belber's Tape. In addition, she played the role of Beatrice in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and Lee Krasner-Pollack, (Jackson Pollack's wife) in a new play, Walking the Dream, both at A.T.A.
Natane recently co-founded Still Point Film Company with her mother, Nian Fish.
She has been seen in numerous national network commercials, including Diet Coke, Advil, Samsung, and Pillsbury.
With Natane's passion for theater, she created Beyond the Box, a charity that sponsored drama classes for underprivileged NYC youth, culminating with a master class taught by Gabriel Byrne. Two of these students were accepted to NYC's High School of Performing Arts.
Natane continues to live and work in New York City.
