Nataile was one of very few British porn stars who had the talent to travel to the States and make some sort of name for herself. R I P Natalie

Only just seen this thread so apologies for the late arrival.

It's interesting to note that some posters have asked in the past what has happened to a particular porn star and been shot down by others. Mind your own they are told. It's the girl's business, her decision.

Yet someone on here asked if any industry figures had kept in touch with her and Terry, I think, said that some girls cut their ties as soon as they stop doing porn. This is obviously true but if there was a Where Are They Now feature somewhere it would stop all of the is she/isn't she debate that populated the first ten or so responses in this thread.

By the way, and no sarcasm intended - did Miss Heck have some French connection or can Dave Wells just not spell Natalie?

This is the first I'm hearing about this and it really is awful I never had the opportunity to meet her properly other than seeing her at a Christmas party one year and commenting on how pretty she was. My condolences to all who were close to her and I hope she's at peace. X

Forgive me for being late to the party, but having only just been made aware of Natalie's passing i felt compelled to post here. I only met Natalie the once, a few years back now, and was warned that she was a bit wild/crazy. However she came across as a genuinely nice girl, and i know she'd been through a lot in her life that many of us would have struggled to deal with. I was deeply saddened to hear that she spent the last months of her life homeless, and i can only hope this is'nt true. I find myself really upset at her death despite the fact i didn't know her very well, which is testament to the impression she made on me.

RIP Natalie

Very sad to hear about Natalie. 27 is no age to die and she struck me as a sweet girl who was a fantastic performer.

Didn't realise about her latter months, and hope she managed to find some happiness after the awful attack which she survived.

RIP.

I'm very sorry to hear that Natalie has passed away. I only met her once, I had dinner with her and a few other girls. ( we were all with the same agency.) I thought she seemed like a nice girl, but seemed unhappy, but then a lot of the girls in the industry are. the industry attracts vulnerable/damaged girls. Unfortunately a lot of the girls in the industry i knew hurt themselves through alchohol, drugs or cutting themselves in order to numb the pain. There is a really unglamourous side to the industry.

The phrase is passed away, not past away!!

"There is a really unglamourous side to the industry"

That could be said for everything in this world. Should we discount the miseries people have in other professions?

Sorry if I see the porn star as victim as not being very relevant here. Natalies problems had nothing to do with the business and I suspect her problems began way before she did porn and it certainly had nothing to do with her end. Even if it may have influenced her decision to get into it.

I shouldnt speak for her in this way but given my years of experience I have observed that porn is always used as an excuse for peoples follies.

So what about Hollywood and the music industry? If anything, that business distort peoples views of the world which is why they end up lost in drink and drugs because life doesnt seem real when you have so many people fawning over you all day and watching your every step in the media...But thats a whole other thread....

There's probably a higher than normal incidence of alcohol related issues in the Police and Prison services if you need more mundane examples.
