Kelly Natividade

With an intense passion for acting and a drive for perfecting her craft, Kelly Natividade is most at home and happiest when she is performing. Hailing from Goiania, Brazil, Kelly began acting in church and school theater at a young age. A natural on stage, she soon found herself being sought after for modeling jobs. In 2001, she left Brazil for the United States, beginning the next chapter in her life. Atlanta became her new home, and there she resumed her passion for acting. She began studying theater at Kennesaw State University, started private coaching with Shannon Eubanks, and enrolled in as many local workshops and classes as she could find in order to hone her craft. While studying, she was offered numerous acting opportunities in Atlanta's indie film scene and worked with some of the best filmmakers in Atlanta on film projects such as "Casting Call", "I Will Hurt You", and "YardByrds". Quickly finding representation with one of Atlanta's top agents, Kelly was presented with many audition opportunities and was soon booking commercial, industrial, and television work. In less than a year, she booked a principal role as Maricela on Lifetime Television's "Army Wives" in 2009. What awaits Kelly next is surely nothing but success. Show less «
