An Inside Look At The Life And Career Of The Australian Actor

In 2020, Nathalie Kelley took the leading role of model Noa Hamilton in “The Baker and the Beauty,” an American adaptation of the similarly-named Israeli romantic dramedy. The actor, who’d previously emigrated to Sydney, played an Australian in the ABC show but her own roots extend far beyond the Land Down Under.

In an interview with Hola! to promote the show, Kelley described herself as an “undercover Latina.” She told the outlet, “I have my stepdad’s last name, which is Kelley, and then I have a thick Australian accent. I’m actually 100% ethnically Latina, my mom is from Peru; my dad is from Argentina, and my grandma still speaks Quechuan, which is the language of the Incas. I’m really deeply connected to my ancestry and my lineage.”

And Kelley couldn’t have been prouder about her involvement in such a ground-breaking show: “I’m just really grateful to be a part of something that connects people to love. It’s super relatable. Also, it’s a big win for Latin culture to be able to play on a show with an all Latin cast and to tell the story of a very loving Latin family.” Sadly, despite some impressive reviews, ABC decided to cancel the series after just nine episodes.
