Despite being 'the academic hopeful of her family', as she describes herself Natalie, At the age of 18 moved to London where she attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art studying drama.
Natalie's talent was obvious from the start and she soon won a role in 'Casanova' as Victoria, along side hollywood stars such as Heath Ledger and Sienna Miller. Such names did not manage to phase Natalie though, she impressed director Lasse Hallstrom so much that he expanded her part, which was originally very small. During filming Natalie also got to showoff her swordsmanship - she's an excellent fencer. "The swordplay in Casanova is beautiful. I'm actually disappointed that there isn't more," says Dormer. "I suppose I'm quite violent. I took a stage combat class at school and developed quite a sword collection."
Furthermore based on her performance in Casanova Natalie was to receive a three picture deal with Disney/Touchstone.
Natalie is currently, fantastically portraying the tragic Anne Boleyn in Showtime's series 'The Tudors' which will pick up its second season in April 2008.
