Cynthia Watros: |
She
initially became known for her role as Annie Dutton on the CBS soap
opera Guiding Light from 1994 to 1998. Watros' character began as a
heroine, but she gained notice and critical acclaim when her
character's rivalry with Reva Shayne (played by Kim Zimmer) led her to
become a scheming villianess. In 1998, Watros won a Daytime Emmy Award
as "Outstanding Lead Actress" for her role on Guiding Light.
In 1998, Watros briefly filled in for Jensen Buchanan as Victoria
Hudson McKinnon on Another World while Buchanan was on maternity
leave.
She is also known for her TV roles as Erin Fitzpatrick on Titus from
2000 to 2002 and Kellie Newmark on The Drew Carey Show from 2002 to
2004.
In 2005 she was cast on the popular ABC series Lost as psychologist
Libby, a member of the "Tailies", a group of survivors of
the plane crash who were in the tail section of the plane (and not
seen during Season One).
Personal Life
Watros overcame a serious disease as a teenager; she was diagnosed
with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an autoimmune disease of the
blood. It required several years of chemotherapy and a splenectomy.
Watros has had a complicated history with Guiding Light costar Kim
Zimmer. Zimmer and Watros met when they costarred in an off-Broadway
show, "Four Dogs and a Bone" by John Patrick Shanley.
Although there is no long-standing rivalry, working in close quarters
apparently caused a serious rift between them when they both appeared
on Guiding Light. In particular, a physical altercation between the
two actors was captured on tape during filming of a Guiding Light
episode.
Watros is married and has twin daughters, Emma Rose and Sadie Anna (b.
July 14, 2001).
Watros and her Lost costar Michelle Rodriguez were pulled over and
arrested on the morning of December 1, 2005 in Kailua, Hawaii, where
Lost is filmed. According to the arresting officers, the two
actresses, who were driving in separate cars, were weaving in and out
of traffic on Pali Highway, which connects Kailua and Honolulu. Watros
and Rodriguez were arrested at 12:20am and 12:05am, respectively, and
both failed sobriety tests. Both were booked at the main Honolulu
police station for driving under the influence of an intoxicant. They
were released on $500 bail, and had a driver’s license revocation
hearing scheduled for December 29, 2005. Watros plead guilty on
January 12, 2006 and received a sentence of alcohol counseling. |

| Libby: |
Prior to
Oceanic Flight 815
Libby attended medical school for one year before deciding to become a
clinical psychologist.
On the Island
Libby was a tailsection passenger on Oceanic Airlines Flight 815.
Immediately following the crash, she sets the broken leg of another
survivor, Donald who dies a few days later. After twelve fellow
tail-section survivors are abducted by the "Others", Libby
is one of the five remaining when Jin, Sawyer and Michael encounter
them. She submits to Ana-Lucia's leadership, following orders without
question.
After Shannon is shot by Ana-Lucia, Libby refuses to tie up Sayid on
Ana-Lucia's orders. Libby tells Ana-Lucia that if she does not let
them go, Sawyer will die from his infection. Libby later attends
Shannon's funeral.
Libby builds her camp with the help of Hurley. Later, Hurley's
comments to Charlie indicate he harbors an attraction towards her.
When doing laundry with Libby, Hurley comments that he may have met
her somewhere else. She distracts him by trying on a small, purple top
and says that Hurley had stepped on her foot while boarding flight
815. |
