Natasha Henstridge "Species" Encore
Episode 116
Monday, 15 December, 2025
n this encore episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with actor Natasha Henstridge, who rocketed to fame as the lethal alien Sil in Species, and has been navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood ever since. Natasha opens up about being 19 years old, seeing herself 30 feet tall on a screen for the first time, walking out of the Species screening saying she “hated” the movie, and why she’s now deeply proud of it and the way it changed her life and career. She talks honestly about aging in the business, body image, and what it’s like to still be recognized for a role she did nearly 30 years ago — including by 20-year-olds who weren’t even born when the film came out. She also reflects on working with Bruce Willis on The Whole Nine Yards, shares emotional memories of Matthew Perry, and talks candidly about her experience with Harvey Weinstein, the MeToo movement, and the complicated decision to speak out — and then try to move on. From Canadian small-town winters to Cannes red carpets, big Hollywood breaks to indie films and producing her own Christmas movie, Natasha is funny, vulnerable, and unfiltered. Along the way, she and Steve dive into: The overwhelming pressure of overnight fame after Species Why she initially hated seeing herself on screen How Species still gets her hired around the world decades later Working with Bruce Willis and watching his family rally around him Her memories of Matthew Perry — the humor, the struggle, and the heartbreak Her experience with Harvey Weinstein and how MeToo “moved the needle” Parenting two sons with ADHD/dyslexia and why motherhood is the hardest job she’s ever had Growing up in freezing northern Alberta, loving winter, and escaping to LA Body image, beauty standards, social media, and what she tells young women now Producing her own projects and saying yes to work all over the world If Species, late-90s/early-2000s Hollywood, or the MeToo era are part of your movie memory bank, this one hits on all fronts — nostalgia, honesty, and a woman who’s very much… still here. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations with the icons, survivors, and scene-stealers of Hollywood. 👍 Like, comment, and tell us your favorite Natasha Henstridge role.
