Producer

Natalie Lander is an actress, writer, and producer who was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Natalie was inspired to become an actress by watching her dad on television, the late David L. Lander, who was best known for playing Squiggy on the ABC hit, Laverne & Shirley. Natalie grew up in a "show biz" family; her grandfather was agent/producer Freddie Fields, whose clients included Frank Sinatra, Robert Redford, Judy Garland, and Liza Minnelli. Her grandmothers were Broadway/TV actress Polly Bergen and child star Edith Fellows. 

Natalie got her start in voiceover when she was nine years old, performed in her first Equity show at the age of seventeen, and got her SAG card at eighteen. She studied theatre at Pepperdine University where she received a BA in Theater in 2005. Since then, Natalie has had an extensive career that spans many facets of the entertainment industry.

While acting has been her primary focus, Natalie has found herself working behind the scenes as a writer and producer. She has co-written and co-produced shows for AwesomenessTV, New Form Digital, and Go90. Her comedy series Teen Survival Guide has amassed over 5M+ views and was expanded into a longer format for Go90. Her pilot The Pick-Up Sticks, in which she also starred, was produced by New Form Digital and co-starred Jonathan Silverman. She recently wrote a short film that was a semifinalist in the HollyShorts and Outstanding Screenplay competitions.

Since 2022, Natalie completed three sold out runs in Los Angeles and New York of her one-woman show, that she wrote, produced, and stars in called Legally Brunette: The Search for Myself. The show is a musical comedy tell-all, based on her actual journal entries from her time on the popular MTV reality show, Legally Blonde, The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods. 

On camera, Natalie has had significant recurring guest star roles on ABC's The Middle, TV Land's Lopez, and TNT's Major Crimes.

When Natalie is not busy with her career in entertainment, she uses her talents to give back to the community. She volunteers regularly with the non-profit, The Art of Elysium, where she performs in hospitals for children with terminal illnesses and disabilities. She is also a member of the women’s philanthropy group, SHARE Inc., that has been raising millions for children’s charities in Los Angeles since 1953. This past year, she produced SHARE’s annual Boomtown gala at The Fairmont Century Plaza and raised $500,000.
