If it seemed like this brunette stunner came out of nowhere when she made a splash on
Lost, that's because she actually did. The Canada-born bombshell initially didn't have glamorous aspirations — as a teen she lived in a grass hut while working as a missionary in the Philippines — but after a Ford Models agent spotted her walking down the street in her homeland, she soon began booking gigs. After a handful of minuscule parts, Lilly landed on
Lost as a criminal castaway, seducing viewers along with her costar, Dominic Monaghan (if rumors are to be believed).
