Evangeline Lilly was born Nicole Evangeline Lilly on the 3rd of August, 1979, in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. As a child, she did not have a television, and her family was devoutly Christian. At eighteen years old, Evangeline served as a foreign missionary in the Philippines. She studied international relations, and ran a human rights committee whilst at University. She is also a former flight attendant. Ford Modelling Agency discovered Evangeline, and she worked through their acting branch. She appeared on commercials, uncredited in Freddy vs. Jason, and in an episode of Smallville. Her first speaking role was in her biggest role to date – as Katherine Kate Austen on the smash hit Lost. There were problems with Evangeline’s working VISA for the United States. The producers began recasting her role, but eventually, just one day late, Evangeline’s VISA was granted. She was nominated for a Golden Globe, and Kate action figures have been released. Evangeline was once married to hockey player Murray Hone. She is now engaged to co-star Dominic Monaghan. She still does not own a television. In 2006, Evangeline’s house was destroyed by fire, but nobody was injured.
