Evangeline Lilly, born in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta in 1979, was discovered on the streets of Kelowna, British Columbia by the famous Ford modeling agency. Although she initially decided to pass on a modeling career, she went ahead and signed with Ford anyway, to help pay for her University of British Columbia tuition and expenses.
Evangeline Lilly is best known for her portrayal of the ultra-sexy Kate Austen on the former ABC hit series Lost. Although her film career has been less than stellar, despite a small role in the Oscar-winning film The Hurt Locker, things are looking up for the Canadian actress who just landed the role of the Woodland Elf Tauriel in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
Evangeline Lilly was an unknown, part-time actress before skyrocketing to fame in 2004 for her role on the TV series Lost (with Matthew Fox). Lilly was a college student in British Columbia, supporting herself with odd jobs and keeping one foot in the entertainment industry, when she was cast in Lost as Kate, the rough-and-tumble brunette with a shady past. By the end of the show's first season, Lilly was gracing magazine covers as one of TV's hottest stars. Beyond the series, which ended in 2010, Lilly has appeared as Jeremy Renner's wife in the Kathryn Bigelow film The Hurt Locker (2009).
