This smart, sultry blonde first made her mark in a pair of lesbian roles. She was the stable girlfriend to Angelina Jolie's out-of-control supermodel in the 1998 TV-biopic
Gia and in
ER's seventh season she helped Laura Innes' doctor come out of the closet. Initially, Mitchell worked in regional theater before she began landing TV guest spots and completing the prerequisite soap stint. After
Gia, she won regular roles in a string of short-lived small-screen series (
The Party of Five spin-off
Time of Your Life,
The Beast opposite future
Lost costar Naveen Andrews) and occasionally played supporting roles in features (
Frequency, two of
The Santa Clause trilogy). But her sexy looks and mysterious aura were put to their best use yet when she popped up on
Lost's third season as one of the ominous Others.
