Natasha NiceBiography, career and awards

Quick facts

Who is Natasha Nice?

Natasha Nice is a French-American adult film actress, born July 28, 1988 in Fontenay-sous-Bois, a suburb just east of Paris. Her family moved to California when she was three, and she grew up there. Her IMDb biography says she graduated from a private school in Hollywood. She shot her first scene in 2006, at 18, and has worked steadily ever since. In a business where most careers last a few years, two decades is unusual.

IAFD, the industry's main credits database, lists 1,167 performer credits under her name as of October 2026, plus two titles she directed. She has worked for nearly every big studio of the last twenty years: Brazzers, Reality Kings and New Sensations in the late 2000s, and Naughty America, Adult Time, MissaX and a long list of VR studios today.

Fans also find her under a couple of other names. Natasha Nyce is an alternate credit IAFD keeps on file. Be Nice Natasha comes from her handle, @benicenatasha, which she uses on X and OnlyFans.

Early life in France and California

She has kept her childhood mostly private, and this guide leaves it that way. The public record is short: born in the Val-de-Marne department outside Paris, moved to Southern California as a small child, raised there, and holds both French and American nationality.

The French side shows up now and then in her work. A 2018 scene for the French studio Jacquie et Michel, shot in Los Angeles, credits her simply as "Virginie". French Wikipedia keeps a full article on her, which is more than most performers of her generation get.

Career: 2006 to 2011

Her first credit is Black Mamba 1 from Platinum X Pictures, released in 2006. The next year was the busiest of her career, with 96 credits dated 2007. New Sensations, Elegant Angel, Evil Angel, Digital Playground, Reality Kings and Pink Visual all booked her that year, and glamour director Andrew Blake cast her in Andrew Blake X 2.

The trade press noticed quickly. In 2008 she picked up two AVN Award nominations: Best New Starlet, the category every newcomer gets measured against, and Best POV Sex Scene for POV Fantasy 7 from New Sensations.

She kept a pace of 40 to 80 credits a year through 2011 and moved into features with real scripts. Dear Abby and Love Is a Dangerous Game, both 2011 releases from New Sensations, each earned her an AVN nomination for Best Actress.

Two milestones from this stretch matter to fans. In May 2010 she launched her own site, natashanice.com, which XBIZ shortlisted for Porn Star Site of the Year in 2011. And in December 2011 she was Penthouse Pet of the Month.

2012 to 2016: a break and a return

In 2012 the studio Puba released I Am Natasha Nice, a feature built around her, with Asa Akira and Shyla Stylez in the cast. That year she also got her first credit behind the camera, directing Natasha Nice's Fetish Party for Penthouse. In 2013 the Dirty Dozen list named her its Rompable Starlet.

Then she slowed down. In September 2012 she announced she was stepping back from performing, and the yearly numbers show it: 60 credits in 2012, 34 in 2014 and 25 in 2015. Some of those were scenes shot earlier and released later, which is normal in this industry.

The break did not stick. Her count climbed back to 49 in 2016 and 75 in 2017, and the XRCO Awards put her up for Best Comeback in 2017.

2017 to 2026: the second act

The second half of her career has been as busy as the first. From 2017 through 2024 she averaged about 70 credits a year. The work also changed shape: more story-driven scenes for MissaX, Pure Taboo and Adult Time, couples and hotwife titles for Naughty America and Mile High, and a lot of virtual reality for VR Bangers, Naughty America VR and similar studios.

The awards came with it. XBIZ named her Web Star of the Year in 2019. The XRCO gave her its Unsung Siren award in 2022, a prize for performers the critics think deserve more credit than they get, and nominated her again in 2025 and 2026. AVN put her on the ballot for MILF Performer of the Year three years running, 2023 to 2025, and XBIZ did the same in 2022. In 2020 she directed her second title, Cardiogasm, for Adult Time.

She is still working. IAFD shows 33 credits dated 2025 and 15 so far in 2026, including new Brazzers scenes, and she runs her own OnlyFans and ManyVids store alongside studio work. For the newest titles, see what's new in 2026. For the full list by era, see the filmography.
