Lilly attended the University of British Columbia where she attained a degree in international relations. She has been a frevant volunteer for childrens projects since the age of 14, and she founded and ran a world development and human rights committee at her university.
Prior to her starring role on Lost, Lilly worked as an extra on film sets to help her pay for her University tuition. She also starred in episodes of 'True Calling, Dead Like Me and Smallville, Kingdom Hospital' and in several films, including 'Stealing Sinatra'. However, her first big break did not come until she was 'dicovered' by LOST producers for the role of Kate. Ironically, Evangeline was almsot not able to work with the cast of LOST because she had problems obtaining a work visa, and got the visa after filming for 'Pilot, Part One' had already begun.
She is currently engaged to ex co-star Dominic Monaghan, and they plan to wed in the summer of 07.
Early on the morning of December 21st, 2006, a day before the LOST cast broke up for Christmas, Lilly's rental house in Hawaii was destroyed in a fire. There were no injuries as she was at work at the time, her two housmates (one of them a LOST crew member), were also not home.

Quote: On how her life has changed since Lost: “There's nothing that's the same as it was a year ago. Oh, I still have brown hair and green eyes. Otherwise everything is different. I was a starving student, and I was focused on humanitarian goals. Now I live halfway across the world in a tropical paradise.” (Virgin.net)
