Natashia Williams began her film and television career at the age of 16, appearing first on Saved by the Bell: The New Class. Shortly after accepting a scholarship to attend the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), she landed her first movie role in 'Def Jam's How to Be a Player". Originally signed to play a smaller supporting role, she made such an impression as the 'Girl in Pink' that her character was extended throughout much of the film and was pictured prominently on the movie poster and billboards. She then began modeling with the Ford Agency and managed to maintain her studies while modeling in various photo shoots and filming television guest star roles in between. She appeared in the ad campaigns of Wondebra, Old Navy, Hanes and Sketchers in addition to being featured in many other numerous publications and runway shows.
