Film and television[edit]
Since 1987, Pavlovich has been a professional actress in Hollywood, portraying characters in television dramas, sitcoms and films. Pavlovich has appeared in more than 60 episodes of various television series portraying Russian, Romanian, Iraqi and Czech characters, among others. Her significant roles on television include playing Marina Oswald Porter on a two part special of Quantum Leap,[14] Judging Amy,[14] Nip/Tuck,[13][15] Cybill,[14] JAG (TV series),[8] Quantum Leap[8] and The Agency (2001 TV series). Disney/NBC Studios cast her in a regular role in the series Pride and Joy[14][15] after seeing her work on the Paramount Studios show, Wings. Pavlovich got to work with director Blake Edwards on the feature film Son of the Pink Panther. Natasha also played in the movies The Naked Truth and Space Warriors.[14] Pavlovich was also a regular in the popular Serbian drama series Gorki Plodovi (Bitter Fruit in Serbian), where she played an ophthalmologist.[16][17] Her life and career have been widely covered by the US and foreign media outlets.[3]
In the documentary series, filmed by multi award-winning director Marina Zenovich, produced by Campfire Films, Nile Cappello,[18] and Co-Executive produced by Chrissy Teigan, Pavlovich tells her side of the story of her relationship with Joe Lara, Lara's marriage to Gwen Shamblin Lara, and the subsequent legal battle between Pavlovic and Lara for custody of their daughter.[4] [6][19] [20]
Legal controversy and news appearance[edit]
In 2015, Lara petitioned the court for sole custody of their daughter, alleging that Pavlovich had sexually abused the child. The court, however, found these accusations to be baseless.[21] The custody trial began in 2016, with Pavlovich representing herself.[4][21] In 2020, the court granted both parties equal custody of their daughter. Following Lara's death in 2021, Pavlovich was awarded full custody and all decision-making rights.[21]
The 2021 Percy Priest Lake Cessna Citation crash, which resulted in the deaths of Pavlovich's ex-fiancé Joe Lara, his wife Gwen Shamblin Lara, and five other passengers associated with the Remnant Fellowship church, drew significant media attention to Pavlovich.[6][4][5][7] In the crash's aftermath, Pavlovich was concerned that her daughter may have been on the plane with Lara.[4] A 911 call recorded during this period reveals Pavlovich urgently seeking information about the plane's passengers and trying to establish contact with the child's father. Despite managing to contact Lara's mother, Pavlovich received vague information regarding her daughter's location. She was eventually reunited with her daughter at a gathering point for children who had lost parents in the crash.[5]
