Natasha Henstridge

 Her film debut, Species (1995), was a role-playing film that featured her in the role of Sil, an artificially engineered hybrid of humans and aliens who escapes confinement in a lab. Sil is chased by a group made by experts who attempt to prevent her from reproducing. Sil is also able to recognize her instinct to seek out a partner. 5 Species was a huge hit and earned US$113 million at the box office. It is famous for its sexual content. Henstridge was awarded the MTV Movie Award in Best Kiss for a scene in which her character smacks the head of a man while she kisses the man. She was Eve in Species II, a less clear genetic replica of Sil in Species II. It was an unpopular box office hit. Between Species films Henstridge starred alongside Christopher Lambert in Adrenalin: Fear the Rush and Jean-Claude Van Damme in Maximum Risk in 1996. A handful of independent films followed, with a variety of box-office returns like Bela Donna, Dog Park and Maximum Risk. Henstridge was the main character in The Whole Nine Yards (2001) and its sequel The Whole Ten Yards (2004). Though she was wary of science fiction, she was signed on to John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001), as Lieutenant Melanie Ballard. The film received a mixed reception and earned it a score of 20 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Seven times, she appeared in Species as Eve in 2004.
