      <p align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43">Was born
      to Serbian parents in Popovi, a village nestled where the Drina and Sava
      Rivers cross in northern Bosnia (former Yugoslavia). She immigrated to
      Chicago in 1972. This young lady went to accomplish many of her dreams.
      She always wanted to be an actress and that is what she is now, but before
      many of her acting jobs she was a beauty pageant contestant. She won Miss
      Beverly Hills Pageant. That led to the Miss California contest where she
      finished in the top ten. While visiting family in Yugoslavia in 1991 she
      was crowned Miss Yugoslavia and went on to the Miss Universe pageant
      where, amongst 72 world beauties, Natasha placed 5th. Although she enjoyed
      the pageants, Natasha was set on an acting career and after the Miss
      Universe pageant returned to her primary goal. Now we at Beauties of Miss
      Yugoslavia have enormous honor to interview this great lady.</font>

      I would like to welcome you as a first Miss Yugoslavia that has been
      interviewed on my page.&nbsp; It has been 11 years since your phenomenal
      placement in Miss Universe pageant, what do you think now when you look
      back at those days?&nbsp;</font></p>
      <p><font face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b><font size="2">NP.</font></b><font size="2">-
      I think that I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to
      represented&nbsp; my country AND to have been considered among the most
      beautiful woman of the world.</font></font></p>
      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>MB.</b>- As many
      people know you have competed in Miss California USA.&nbsp; How did that
      compare to Miss Yugoslavia Competition?</font></p>
      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>NP.</b>- California is
      known for some of the most beautiful blond, blue-eyed, tanned ladies.
      Yugoslavia, however, has a variety of even more beautiful women. Also, The
      Californian ladies are much more &quot;trained.&quot; Yugoslavian ladies
      are more relaxed and natural.</font></p>

      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>MB.</b>- What do you
      think are the benefits that a woman can obtain in competing in a beauty
      pageant?&nbsp; Are there any negative&nbsp; aspects?</font></p>
      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>NP.</b>- I believe
      that a woman has to USE the pageant to her benefit. A woman can list it on
      her resume, use it as an &quot;open door,&quot; get publicity, help her
      get an audience and get<br>
      heard. The only negative aspects are: there is only one woman crowned and
      there are politics and injustices involved. For example: I competed first
      for Miss Beverly Hills. I won over 32 other ladies. Then, when I went to
      Miss California (representing Beverly Hills), I learned I was competing
      with about a dozen ladies that I already competed with in Miss Beverly
      Hills. Apparently the other ladies paid their own entrance fees and
      &quot;borrowed&quot; or &quot;named themselves&quot; after cities with no
      pageants....like Santa Monica and Bell Air.<br>
      So, I had to compete with them again; I didn't think that was fair.</font></p>

      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>NP.</b>-It will always
      be a wonderful memory. I met many new friends from all over the world.
      Some of the best memories include when they called out &quot;Miss
      Yugoslavia&quot; as a semi-finalist. The other great memory I have is
      this: Miss Mexico won. There are thousands of Mexicans living in Las
      Vegas. I think they were all in the auditorium cheering for her, waving
      the Mexican flags. Wherever we went, there were crowds for Miss Mexico.
      Well, I had some family and friends travel to Vegas to support me. On a
      daily bases when we took the elevator down to the lobby, my Friends and
      Family had the accordion going...singing....dancing kolo and cacak
      (Traditional Serbian dances)....and I thought that they made more noise
      and had even more enthusiasm than the Mexicans.. so I was very very proud.</font></p>

      Yugoslavian representatives have been saying that pageants are influenced
      by politics a lot.&nbsp; What do you think about this issue?</font></p>
      <p><font size="2" face="Verdana" color="#586B43"><b>NP.</b>-
      Unfortunately, I believe that is true. From my own experiences, the
      pageant is a television PRODUCTION....that makes millions of dollars. It's
      a business. It's politics.<br>
      <br>
      <b>MB.</b>-I have one more question dealing with pageants before we go
