“I think I keep the title until he remarries,” says Natasha Alam, a new co-star on the HBO hit television series “True Blood” and “Playboy” magazine cover girl.

Alam, in 1998, married the grandson of the former Shah of Iran, Amir Ebrahim Pahlavi Alam, in New York and they moved to London soon after. Those nuptials granted her the title of princess. They later lived in Los Angeles so Natasha could pursue her acting career. However, the couple finalized their divorce in 2005. Then, they went their separate ways: Amir returned to London, while Natasha went Hollywood.

Alam plays the role of “Yvetta,” a leggy, erotic dancer at the Fangtasia bar in the vampire show, “True Blood.”

“I kind of forget that fact,” Natasha, 27, says of being a princess. “But in situations like this (speaking to the media), I get refreshed about it.

“In London, being a princess was a big deal – because of the whole royal family and everything. You get reminded of that in London. I loved that feeling and experience.

“But I felt lonely and unfulfilled. I felt there was more to life.”

So the Russian beauty from Uzbekistan, with the striking light blue/gray eyes, decided to chase her lifelong dream of acting. Her towering height (5’10″) means if Natasha wears four-inch heels (just check “Maxim” magazine), she suddenly leaps to 6’2″. “I guess I should consider myself an Amazon babe,” she says.

So watch out Tom Cruise. And watch out for her new, Americanized accent in the process.

Now, the accent sounds more midwestern than Russian dialect from her native Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which is formerly part of the Soviet Union. “I work with my tapes and my voice coach (Bob Corff),” says Natasha, whose birth name is Natalia Shimanchuk.

It’s obviously working for her as an up-and-coming thespian navigating what can be an unforgiving Hollywood web.

Except, Natasha’s new role in life almost evaded her.

Natasha’s grandmother fed her beer during her days as a toddler in the home country. She feared her granddaughter was too skinny and needed to gain weight – unbeknownst to Natasha’s mother.

Because of Nazi Germany, her grandmother knew the feeling of hunger. “She survived the German invasion during World War II,” Natasha says. (An estimated 20 million Russians were killed by the German Wehrmacht or “war machine”).

But once Natasha’s mother found out about the “secret diet,” she put an end to the beer routine.

Later, when she turned 17, Natasha’s mother enrolled her in the University of Technology for Aviation.

Her major?

Aircraft mechanics.
