[edit] Career

In 2005 she won the Logie for Most Popular New Female Talent at the 47th Annual TV Week Logie Awards,[1] for her acting performance in Neighbours whilst she was still cast in a recurring role on the show. This is a rarity in the award shows history. After a year's absence from the soap between 2005 and 2006, she returned in 2006 as a main cast member.

Blair was nominated for a 2007 Gold Logie Award but lost to Home And Away star Kate Ritchie.[2] She has been nominated for the same award in 2008. [3]

In December 2007 she starred in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as Snow White at Shrewsbury Music Hall. [4] As a now traditional part of the publicity for the pantomime, Blair sang a solo of the first verse of 'Once in Royal David's City' at the annual BBC Shropshire Carols in the Square event in Shrewsbury on 19 December 2007.[5]

[edit] Personal life

She was educated at Lourdes Hill College, in Brisbane.

Blair met Beau Brady (who previously played Noah Lawson in Home and Away) on the set of Voodoo Lagoon in early 2006. Later she was engaged to Beau however the pair split up in January 2007 due to Brady wanting to move to Los Angeles to further his acting and music career.[citation needed]

Natalie is currently dating co-star David Hoflin who plays her ex-boyfriend Oliver Barnes on Neighbours.
