Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Lilly's
combination of irresistible charm and natural talent
is earning her a reputation as one of the most
promising young actresses in Hollywood.
Three years ago Lilly was discovered by a Ford agent
on the streets of Kelowna, BC, but passed up an
offer to sign with the agency. While acting had been
a dream of hers since she was a teenager, she
abandoned the notion for the more aesthetic dream of
working in international relations. Six months later
Lilly moved to Vancouver to attend the University of
British Columbia and decided to sign with Ford to
help pay for tuition. After appearing in a few
commercials, she decided to give up acting and focus
on studying. A couple of years later, a friend urged
her to give acting another shot and, after a role in
Kingdom Hospital, Lilly caught the acting bug.
Lilly founded and ran a world development and human
rights committee at her university. She has lived
under a grass hut in the jungles of the Philippines
with a missionary group, and has been a volunteer
for children's projects since the age of 14.
Lilly is fluent in French and loves ice skating,
canoeing, kayaking, snowboarding and rock climbing.
Evangeline Lilly's Measurements :

1. Evangeline was a hardware girl on
the popular videogame review show Electric
Playground until she was offered the role on LOST.
2. Evangeline's friends call her "Evie."
3. A guy who dated Evangeline before she became
famous had a summer job in her hometown at an oil
change shop.
4. Before her role on LOST, Evangeline attended
university in Vancouver.
5. A bold young fan of Evangeline's stole her
underwear off her clothesline! The boy, about 12
years old, was not caught, and never returned the
knickers!
6. Evangeline enjoyed a trip to Paris, France to
promote LOST.
7. Evangeline says, "I remember moving out of my
small town that I lived in in Canada because I felt
like too many people knew me after living there for
12 years. I up and left because I was like this is
just weird. I walk down the street and people know
me. To go somewhere where I was unknown. And I’ve
done that pretty much every six months ever since
then until I got LOST."
8. On season two of LOST, Evangeline says, “I think
you’re going to get a lot of answers this season.
The difficult thing for me was not knowing the cast
or the character. There are some scenes I see now
and I think well if I had known this or that, I
wouldn’t have made that choice now. That’s
frustrating."
9. Evangeline says, “I think the coolest thing about
having the DVD released right now is that anyone who
is a die hard fan, who is really into the puzzles
and the mysteries of LOST now has the opportunity,
before Season Two gets too far in, to go back and
review Season One. You’re going to see our audition
tapes and that’s terrifying, embarrassing. I have
never even seen that tape. When I’m acting, like
others, I put on this persona which is going to be
me on camera and everyone is going to see it.”
10. Evangeline tries to stay modest, despite her
new-found fame. She says, "LOST has been great for
me, but I remind myself that any day now I could go
back to the days when I was waitressing and barely
able to afford to eat or go anywhere because I had a
broken-down car."
11. Evangeline has been spotted taking golf lessons
in Hawaii.
12. Evangeline says, "I've been called a walking
oxymoron."
13. Evangeline says, "Any excuse to get dolled up is
good for me... because they cover me with grease and
grime on the show [LOST]."
14. Evangeline is fluent in French and loves ice
skating, canoeing, kayaking, snowboarding and rock
climbing.
15. When Evangeline auditioned for the role in Lost,
she had only one acting gig on her resume--a tiny,
miss-it-if-you-blink appearance on Stephen King's
mini-series Kingdom Hospital.
16. Evangelina did missionary work in the jungles of
the Philippines where she lived in grass huts. She
also used to do oil changes on big rigs and worked
as a flight attendant among having many other jobs
17. Evangeline was named the #2 sexiest woman in the
world (2005) by Maxim Magazine.
18. Evangeline is a devoted exerciser; she spends a
lot of time working out outdoors as well as in the
gym.
19. After nearly drowning when she was younger
Evangeline was terribly afraid of water, but since
then she overcame her fear.
20. Evangeline refused to do a partial nude scene in
an early episode of LOST.
21. On fame, Evangeline says, "That's one part of
this industry that you really have to get used to,
the idea of turning a blind eye to pretty much
everything. You just live in a bubble. People are
going to talk about you, and make things up. If
you're fazed by it, you'll go insane."
22. Evangeline was voted one of the 50 Most
Beautiful People by People Magazine. She was also on
Maxim magazine's annual Hot 100 list: She was ranked
No 2, after Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria but
ahead of seasoned stars such as Jennifer Garner (No
3), Lindsay Lohan (No 4) and Angelina Jolie (No 7).
23. Evangeline says, "I was a broke student whose
car broke down every day--who could barely afford to
eat--and was trying to make money for tuition and,
therefore, was doing the odd commercial here and
there. So, now I just try very hard to keep my feet
planted on the ground. I keep reminding myself that
any day now I could go back to that broken-down car
and my university life."
24. Evangeline nearly lost the opportunity to star
on ABC's LOST due to her Canadian citizenship. J.J.
Abrams and ABC had to obtain a work visa from the
American government before she could start filming.
25. Prior to her starring role on LOST, Evangeline
worked as an extra in several productions filmed in
Vancouver. She can be seen in episodes of Tru
Calling, Smallville and Dead Like Me, and in films
Freddy vs. Jason and Stealing Sinatra.
26. Yunjin Kim (Sun) first auditioned for the part
of Kate, but because the producers didn't think she
was right for the part, Evangeline was cast.
27. For the past two years, Evangeline has been the
spokes-model for Livelinks, a telephone chat line
whose numerous commercials often air during late
night television.
28. Evangeline is currently dating her LOST co-star,
Dominic Monaghan. They are rumored to be engaged,
since Dominic was spotted shopping for rings in
October 2005.
