Before Top Model
In the America's Next Top Model finale episode, Natasha revealed to host Tyra Banks that her mother did not have enough money to send her to a local university, and so she ended up living in Moscow, under very poor living conditions at times. Natasha was a college student before America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8.America's Next Top Model
Natasha's journey started off roughly, creative director Jay Manuel having said that her "High School Clichés" photoshoot in the second episode was among the hardest to direct in Top Model history, besides Ann Markley from America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3. However, as the competition progressed, the judges were amazed by Galkina's extraordinary progress, Tyra Banks having referred to her as the "most improved" contestant in the opening narration of the finale. This growth, as well as her endearing personality and ability to effectively market herself to prospective clients, earned Natasha a spot in the final two models. As a finalist in the competition, she got the opportunity to shoot a cover-try for Seventeen magazine, and to walk the runway for Sass and Bide clothing, in the season finale. Her skirt fell down during the runway show, but she was applauded by the judges for commiting to character, and making the wardrobe malfunction appear as though it were intentional. Jaslene Gonzalez was the eventual winner of the competition.She was recently voted as one of the most memorable contestants by AOL entertainment.

Personal life
In the first episode of Top Model 8, Natasha introduced herself as being from Dallas, Texas. She said that she is married to an American man, Stuart Hagler, who brought her over to the United States, and it was revealed in the seventh episode of the series, that they have a daughter, Angelina. There was controversy concerning Galkina's marriage, among the other contestants throughout various episodes of the series, because Galkina never wore a wedding band, nor did she seem to have pictures of her husband and daughter. Some contestants speculated that Natasha was a mail-order bride. Galkina has subsequently denied the claim, having said in an interview, "We met like the other people, like the other people meet each other. It was natural, we dated for a little bit less than a year, and I got married when I was almost 20 and after the year from the date of our marriage, and I got the beautiful baby and I was very, very happy with him."This biography article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Natasha Galkina".
