After the release of the first season of the cult series Stranger Things, where she played one of the main characters, Nancy Wheeler, the actress's career took off quickly. For this role, Dyer received a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Young Actor nomination.
Natalia's creative biography began in her school years. She performed her first role at the age of twelve in Hannah Montanna: The Movie. The girl appeared in the picture as Clarissa Granger. The comedy film about teenagers, filmed on the television series "Hannah Montanna", was a great success with viewers and received excellent reviews from film critics.
early years
The girl was born in the winter of 1997 in the small town of Nashville. A few years later, the family moved to New York, where Natalia went to school.
The girl was diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) from an early age. Parents, taking care of her health, sent the child to a specialized educational institution, where such children studied according to the program, which provided for an individual approach to each student.
Already in primary school, the girl became interested in creativity and began performing on stage in theatrical performances. Gradually, she began to understand that she really wanted to be an actress and devote her life to art. Natalia decided to continue her education at New York University to study acting.
Film career
Dyer performed her first roles during her school years. The debut was the film "Hannah Montanna: The Movie", where the main role was played by the popular actress Miley Cyrus. Natalia got one of the episodic roles, but many viewers remembered her image. A successful start in cinema inspired the young actress and pushed her to search for new roles. She began to participate in castings, and two years later she reappeared on the screen in the film "Youth of Whitney Brown." She again got only a cameo role, as in the following films: "Sad as Jazz" and "Healer".
The girl got her first serious role only in 2014 in the independent film I Believe in Unicorns. The acting skills of young Natalia were highly praised by critics, but the film was never released, so Dyer's work went unnoticed for the audience.
In the same year, the girl began to prepare for admission to the university and postponed filming for a while. She appeared in only a few episodes of the short films: "Till Dark" and "The City at Night", as well as in a small supporting role in the film "Long Night, Short Morning".
Two years later, in 2016, Natalia was cast to participate in the new mystical project of Netflix studio "Stranger Things" and actually pulled out a lucky ticket, which gave her the opportunity to start building a professional acting career. She got the role of Nancy Wheeler and woke up famous after the release of the first season.
The series, directed by the Duffer brothers, tells the story of the life of the inhabitants of a small American town, where very strange events suddenly begin to occur. First, a boy named Will disappears, and then Nancy's friend Barbara. These disappearances are associated with unusual, mystical events that began to occur soon in this area.
Since the events in the series take place in the 80s, Natalia began to carefully prepare for the role. She got acquainted with the music of those years, watched popular films of the 80s, studied fashion magazines and celebrity outfits, listened to the stories of her parents about that time.
The first season of Stranger Things immediately won over audiences all over the world. Film critics also praised the director's work. The film won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Drama Series.
In 2017, the second season of the mystical television series was released, and the third season is planned for 2019.
In 2019, Natalia played in the film Velvet Chainsaw, also released by Netflix.
