Nathalie Kelley

CW’s reboot of Dynasty offered a whole new take on the classic series, with Nathalie Kelley landed the role of Cristal Flores, beating out thousands of actresses for the part. Kelley was only on the show for a single season, citing the filming to be too much work.

The actress admits to not performing due diligence before accepting the part, realizing too late that nighttime soaps were a challenging breed. She would end up feeling stuck before long, though she still made an impressive $75,000 an episode before it was all over. Digging deep just wasn’t enough for the actress to stick it out.
