Evangeline Lilly Is Retiring From Acting: Inside the ‘Lost’ Alum’s Decision to Leave Hollywood


Actress Evangeline Lilly announced she was retiring from acting and leaving Hollywood behind. The Lost alum made the announcement in an Instagram post.

“I am terrified to admit this to the rest of the acting world but ideally, 10 years from now, I’d like to be a retired actress, and I would like to have a family,” she said in the throwback video, adding, “And I’d like to be writing, and potentially maybe influencing people’s lives in a more humanitarian way.” “Thank you @lost_theothers for digging up this (nearly twenty-year-old) footage of me speaking out my dreams under (what looks like) a full moon 🌝 And thank you to @femalepoetssociety for digging up this (much older) footage of the incredible #mayaangelou perfectly articulating how I feel about life,” she captioned the post, which also featured a clip of Maya Angelou delivering an inspiring message.
