Cynthia Michele Watros (born September 2, 1968 in Lake Orion, Michigan) is an Emmy-Award winning American television actress, who also starred on films and stage. She is best known for her roles as Libby on the ABC TV series Lost , Kellie in The Drew Carey Show, and Erin in "Titus".

Career

Early Stage Career and Education

Graduating from high school, Watros marked time at the local community college. Transferring to Boston University, Watros graduated with a BFA, and like many, headed to New York to seek fame when she was cast as Agnes Gooch in a Broadway musical theatre production of Auntie Mame.

Daytime television

Watros initially became known for her role as Annie Dutton on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light from 1994 to 1998. Her character, a nurse, 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 villainess. 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.

Primetime television

Watros is also known for several primetime TV roles.

* She appeared as Erin Fitzpatrick on Titus from 2000 to 2002 and gained recognition as a comedic actress, playing the real-life fiance of the title character. According to the DVD commentary, Erin was originally supposed to be more like Tommy in the series (worrysome, neurotic), and Tommy was supposed to be more like how Erin was (strong, supportive). The characters' personality changes were made a week before the pilot was shot.
* After Titus was canceled, she took on the role of Kellie Newmark on The Drew Carey Show, as a replacement for the departure of Christa Miller. Watros played the role from 2002 to 2004. As a welcoming gesture, Drew Carey sent flowers to her on a weekly basis.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

* From 2005 to 2006, she was a cast member on the hit ABC series Lost. She played 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). Towards the end of the season (in the episode Two for the Road), Libby was shot and killed by Michael Dawson (played by Harold Perrineau) along with Ana Lucía Cortez (played by Michelle Rodriguez).

After her departure from "Lost" , Watros filmed a pilot for CBS, a show titled "My Ex-Life", where she was slated to play the ex-wife of a character played by Tom Cavanagh. However, the pilot was not chosen by CBS to be on their fall schedule.

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. In an interview in the Season 3 DVD of Titus, she stated that she had lost her hair and gained over 100 pounds as a result of this disease.

Watros has had a complicated history with Guiding Light co-star Kim Zimmer. Zimmer and Watros met and became friends when they co-starred 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 to Curtis Gilliland and has twin daughters, Emma Rose and Sadie Anna (b. July 14, 2001).

Watros and her Lost co-star Michelle Rodriguez were each pulled over and arrested on the morning of December 1, 2005 in Kailua, Hawaii, where Lost is filmed. Rodriguez was charged with drunk driving. Five months later both characters in the show were killed in an episode called "Two For The Road", leading some fans and TV pundits to suggest it was punishment for their arrests. Rodriguez and the producers have denied this, saying it was to be so from the start.
