Fun fact
She had almost no acting experience when she was cast as a lead on Lost — she'd been working odd jobs, including as a flight attendant, right before the audition.
The verdict
Born and raised in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, and cast as Kate Austen on Lost after literally no professional acting training. Went from flight attendant to series lead to Marvel's Wasp. Born, raised, five points.
