Residents of Timmins, Ontario may recognize Natalie Brown as the Heinz ketchup girl. Or as the woman who gets her drink snatched away by a prankster in the Bailey`s Irish Cream commercials. Brown had been in the entertainment business for more than 15 years when she finally landed her own series, Sophie, on CBC. In the comedy she played the owner of the Parker Talent Agency, and someone who manages to take everything in stride, even as her world collapses around her. Costars included Mimi Kuzyk and Sara Botsford. Brown played the role of Carol Haplin in the short-lived 2010 US-produced, shot-in-Canada series, Happy Town.
