Evangeline Lilly was a nobody before lucking into a part on the hit TV show Lost. And, according to her, she wouldn't mind being a nobody again, except that to do so she would have to quit the show.
And what has caused Ms. Lilly to sour on fame? The constant hounding of Lost fans, who are some of the most rabid devotees around.
"I am an incredibly private person," says the pert and lovely Evangeline, "and it's so exhausting to me that everywhere I go people know me or think they know me. If I could act and make the income I make and be anonymous, I would never want to leave the job."
See this Evangeline? It's the world's smallest violin, and I'm playing it for you.
Boo-hoo, I make millions of dollars and I'm famous and people won't leave me alone. Well, I've got an idea Evangeline - why don't you quit acting and try making a fortune doing something else? Like being a stock broker. Or a real-estate mogul. Or by inventing something.
Oh wait, you can't do any of those things, because you're a stupid twat who would be waitressing or stripping or, at best, underwear modeling if you didn't have some tiny little talent for pretending to be someone else.
Here's the point Evangeline - lots of people make it big in this world without necessarily becoming famous. You chose acting. You could've studied to be a dental assistant and ended up making a perfectly good living while being just another schlub. No one put a gun to your head and told you to get into a profession that, if you succeeded at it, you would lose a lot of your privacy. So stop whining.
Now hold still while we wet down your tank-top.
