Regular Lost viewers -- and you can count us among those alternately riveted and puzzled hordes -- received a shock on a recent episode when (spoiler alert, if you're planning to catch the season on DVD or just have a TiVo backlog) the character of Alex Rousseau was summarily terminated.
Alex, rebellious and lovestruck daughter of the enigmatic quasi-villain Ben Linus, was played by the radiantly gorgeous Tania Raymonde, seen here making Worn Free's Joey Ramone Punk shirt look incredibly glamorous.
Tania first caught our eye years ago, playing the precocious (if obnoxious) Cynthia Sanders on Malcolm in the MIddle. Though her beauty was evident, the adolescent actress primarily showed a fierce presence, a strong aptitude for comedy, and a striking ability to temper her character's pain-in-the-butt qualities with aching vulnerability. We knew she was bound for bigger things. By the time she appeared on Lost, she'd grown so coltishly exquisite that it took us a moment to connect her with the gawky Cynthia.
Now that her character's gone to the great island in the sky, she's begun to expand her film work. We look forward to her breakout role.
