IZABELLA
SCORUPCO stars as Natalya Simonova, the beautiful systems programmer who
survives the first explosive demonstration of "GOLDENEYE"'s power
and becomes Bond's courageous ally.
Through a new face to American film audiences, Scorupco has enjoyed success, singer and model. Born in the northern Polish village of Bialystok, she moved to Sweden with her mother as a young child. She studied drama and music and, at 17, was discovered by a Swedish film director who cast her in the movie "No One Can Love Like Us," which made her a local teenage idol.
She
then became a successful model in Sweden and through Europe, where she
made good use of her fluency in four languages. In 1989 Scorupco displayed
another facet of her talents, launching her career as a pop singer with
her first single, "Substitute." The single and subsequent album,
"IZA," both went gold, and she followed with another hit single,
"Shame, Shame," which she recorded in 1991.
Returning to acting in 1994, she immediately won the lead roal in the Swedish film "Petri Tears." Scorupco stars as a woman who lives her life as a man in the medieval drama, which was released in August 1995.
