THENUDE biography:

Natalie Banus made her pin-up debut at the age of 15, on 6th September 1987 in the British tabloid newspaper "The Sunday Sport". Photographs appeared of her in bikini bottoms with her arms folded across her chest, hiding her prominent assets. The front page promised "just 30 days till Natalie goes topless" and there began the modelling career of perhaps one of the most published Page 3 Girls. Natalie Jay, her real name, was born on October 11th 1971 in Hedon, North London. Her mother is British, and her father is part Italian and part Indian...which explains her exotic Mediterranean appearance. From an early age Natalie showed promise as a dancer. As a youngster she took up ballet and decided this would be her career. Natalie was accepted at the prestigious Royal Ballet School in London at the age of 8 and studied there for five years.

Through out 1988 and 1989 Natalie was the most popular topless model for "The Sunday Sport" and "The Sport" tabloid newspapers. Unlike their rival tabloid papers, they printed a huge bevy of topless bombshells instead of just one. Her first international nude debut at 16 was within the pages of Mayfair in May 1988. And from there went on to appear in a wide variety of magazines including Penthouse (UK edition), Parade, Big Ones, and Bounce. In the early 1990's she continued to model extending her work to foreign publications and calendar work. Like many of her fellow Page 3 Models she posed full nude for some foreign publications which never saw British shores. During her modelling career she pursued both her dancing and singing interests. In 1989 she appeared in the London play "Page 3 Girls" along side co-star Debbie Lindon.
