In Hollywood, survival often means being typecast (the best friend, the cop, the bad girl). Few actors, it seems, are willing to turn down a role simply because, well, they’ve already played it. But Evangeline Lilly is not one of those actors. In fact, she’s distanced herself from the image and style of fresh-faced castaway Kate Austen, the character she played for six seasons on the hit show Lost. “I’m so sick of people thinking that’s who I am,” admits Evangeline, 34.
As if to underscore the point, today for her interview at a restaurant in Los Angeles, Evangeline is wearing dark pants and a short black jacket over a tank. Her cropped hair is pulled back, with wavy pieces falling into her fine-boned face, and her lips are colored berry red. She laughs—and swears—a lot. And as soon as she launches into lively conversation about the causes she fervently supports and takes a hearty swig of her cocktail (a house special called Penicillin), it’s clear she’s got grit to go along with her naturally good looks.
To read the full interview with Evangeline, pick up a copy of the January/February issue of Women’s Health on newsstands today!
