Evangeline Lilly Life Story

When Evangeline was a little kid she did not dream about getting into the showbiz life. She was a good Christian Canuck who set her sites on making the world a better place. She served briefly as a foreign minister and lived in a grass hut in the Philippines when she was eighteen. But her humanitarian work was not paying her college tuition, so when a talent agent approached her to do some modeling work she reluctantly accepted. Her modeling work led to small parts in forgettable movies like Freddy Vs. Jason (2003) starring Lori Campbell and Kelly Rowland, and TV shows like Smallville (2001) starring Kristin Kreuk. She also appeared in The Lizzie McGuire movie with Hilary Duff.

Evangeline got her big break when she was cast in the hit TV show Lost (2004). Since then she has become one of many Canadians to be embraced by the American public. And for good reason, not only does she have a killer body but she is also a sweet good natured girl. Evangeline will star in the upcoming film Afterwards in 2008.
