Evangeline Lily
Actress Evangeline Lily didn’t consider acting until she was discovered by a modeling agent of the Ford Modelling Agency and was encouraged by a friend to finally call him and try her luck. Growing up, her interest in humanitarian causes is what led her to study International Relations in college. She had different jobs before and during college, all to allow her to pay her college tuition.
Her notable jobs were working as a waitress, worked in a mechanic shop changing oil and “doing grease jobs on big rig trucks,” and finally, a flight attendant for Royal Airlines. Imagine if she hadn’t been discovered by the agent, she might have worked to this day in oil change and “doing grease jobs” in Canada.
