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.

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.
