	Actors - Natalie Bassingthwaighte

Natalie Bassingthwaighte (born 1 September 1975 in Wollongong, Australia) is an Australian actress, best-known for playing the role of Isabelle "Izzy" Hoyland in the soap opera Neighbours, joining the show in 2003. During her time on the show Natalie has been involved in several big storylines involving her characters evil streak which have shocked and delighted fans of the show. Due to her lengthy surname, the official Neighbours website usually refers to her as simply 'Natalie B'.

From late 2004 she has been the lead singer of Australian rock group Rogue Traders, a band which had some limited success in the years before she joined. Natalie auditioned for the show along with several other musicians and succeeded in getting the part fairly quickly. At first the band seemed keen to keep Natalie's involvement in the Rogue Traders under wraps, and it wasn't until the band's first single release with Natalie on board that fans became aware of Natalie's position.

Natalie has also been involved in several major Australian stage productions including remakes of musicals such as Footloose
and Grease (in the summer of 2005).

Natalie's time on Neighbours seems linked, in part, to the success of Rogue Traders. The band are doing very well in Australia with the addition of Natalie (having released several singles and an album to date) and mention of released in Europe and the United Kingdom. Natalie remains uncertain whether she will leave Neighbours or not when her contract expires in July 2006, though she has commented that she'd like to leave the show "with a bang" when she does.

Natalie is currently dating fellow Rogue Traders band member Cameron McGlinchey.
