Career

Emilie de Ravin's first major role was a recurring part as Curupira in the TV series BeastMaster. She went on to appear as alien/human hybrid Tess Harding in the teen TV series, Roswell. She landed this role one month after moving to Los Angeles at the age of 18. In 2004 (8 years ago), Ravin was cast to portray Claire Littleton on the hit ABC drama Lost. In answer to if she expected the success of Lost, Ravin said: "It's sort of hard to say. You read something and have a good feeling about it, it sounds great, ties nicely together and then shooting something, editing it, the music, the actors involved, everything sort of plays a huge part. Everyone involved had a great feeling towards it, but you never really know". Ravin was a series regular for the first four seasons, but will not return as a series regular for the fifth season; although she will be on a "holding contract" and will return as a regular in the sixth season. In 2005 (7 years ago), Ravin was cast to portray Emily Kostich, the heroin-addicted ex-girlfriend of Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), in the neo-noir movie Brick. In an interview about the film, Ravin told that she was attracted by the script because it was original and the teens in the movie are very deep and emotional for their age. In 2006 (6 years ago), she starred in the remake of the 1977 (35 years ago) horror movie The Hills Have Eyes as Brenda Carter. In 2007 (5 years ago), Variety reported that she would be starring in the movie Ball Don't Lie, which premiered at the 2008 (4 years ago) Tribeca movie Festival and will arrive at the cinemas early 2009 (3 years ago). Ravin will appear in William Dear's The Perfect Game, and in the 2009 (3 years ago) movie Public Enemies (7 walls) as a bank teller named Barbara Patzke. Ravin was cast in the movie adaption of the video game Onimusha, but due to producer Samuel Hadida's other project The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and Heath Ledger's death, Hadida was forced to push back the release date of the film. Onimusha is postponed for an unknown amount of time and there is not any confirmation if Ravin will continue the project. Ravin is currently filming the romantic drama Remember Me co-starring with Robert Pattinson. It was announced that Emilie would be appearing full-time on Lost's season six.

Personal life

After three years of dating, actor Josh Janowicz proposed to Ravin on New Year's Day 2005 (7 years ago) in Melbourne, which she said "was very impromptu and very sweet".

While filming Lost, Ravin flew to and from Hawaii "once or twice a week" to return to her home in Burbank, California, which she shared with Janowicz and their poodle, Bella. The couple married 19 Jun. 2006 (6 years ago) in Melbourne, Australia. Ravin separated from Janowicz six months after their marriage and currently lives in Los Angeles, California with her dog.
