Natalia Lazarus, multi-talented actress, director and teacher, has received a commendation from City Council honoring 25 years of helping international students break into the entertainment industry through her conservatory program.
Lazarus, who originally hails from Honduras, was able to find success in Hollywood through a combination of talent, tenacity, and educational opportunity. Knowing there were many immigrants striving and struggling to do the same, she co-founded the Los Angeles Performing Arts Conservatory in 1996 to train aspiring international artists.
