Biography
Born as the youngest of three sisters on December 27th, 1981, Emilie de Ravin grew up in Mount Eliza, Australia, approximately 45 km south of the Melbourne Central Business District. When she was younger her sisters were always the ones she went to for advice. Especially when it came to love issues Emilie always asked her sisters for help.

"They're much older than me - I'm 18; they're in their thirties - so if I was ever embarrassed about something, I could go to them for advice," she says. "I remember when I was 14, I had a crush on this guy and asked one of my sisters what to do. She was like, First, you don't want to be too pushy with him. Make him come to you."

During her early youth Emilie went to Toorak College, an independent day and boarding school for girls Year 4 to Year 12 and co-educational from 3 Year old Pre-school to Grade 3, but since she was nine her passion had been the ballet. At age 15 the petite blonde got accepted into the prestigious and highly selective Australian Ballet School. During her teenage years, Emilie performed in productions of the Australian Ballet Company and Danceworld 301. Although she pursued ballet for years, Emilie never quite liked the "bitchy atmosphere" in which people tended to spread rumours and tell stories behind a person's back. Never wanting to become like the girls she met at ballet school, Emilie never participated in those activities.

The Australian native soon after she studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia, also undertaking two acting courses at the Swinburne University, quickly after, landing her first role on the television show Beastmaster: The Legend Continues as the forest demon Curupira all at the age of 17.

She was asked to audition for a US prime time drama, one month after relocating to Los Angeles the Australian girl landed the role of Tess Harding, the mysterious fourth alien in the WB sci-fi teen drama Roswell. Tess was written off after only two seasons. Emilie was granted a US green card in 2004 after working in the US since early 2000. This is why she didn't have many acting jobs after leaving Roswell her non citizenship status prevented her from appearing in booked acting jobs, despite her manager getting her choice guest-star roles on some TV shows and movies. Such as the remake of Stephen King's horror classic Carrie and CSI: Miami," "The Handler" and "Navy NCIS. Other works include the independent film Brick, the dark comedy Santa's Slay and the remake of the horror film The Hills Have Eyes. Her latest roles now include two recent independent films, playing a bipolar prostitute, mother of a young boy in "Ball Don't Lie and a chatty, perky, reporter for "The Perfect Game." Falling into mainstreams films like "Public Enemies" playing a bank teller whom the renown gangster Dillinger, played by Johnny Depp, takes hostage and later frees.

The sweet and sometimes shy, blonde takes her career very seriously for she wants to pursue it for the rest of her life. Up to now, Emilie has managed to make some wise choices with regard to the roles she accepts and the characters she portrays. Things are looking good for her since she is already considered a star on the rise. de Ravin's wish to make a living out of acting seems to be coming true.

At the moment, Emilie lives in Los Angeles with her mini beagle, Mabel and her husband, Josh Janowicz. But despite, or maybe because of the long distance that separates her from her family, she still wants to spend as much time with them as possible. Especially on Christmas the Australian enjoys going home to spend the holidays and New Year's with her friends and family. In addition to spending time with her loved ones.

Due to the fame she gathered with her performance as pregnant Claire Littleton on ABC's new prime time hit Lost, Emilie has been out and about. When asked about it, she happily talks about fashion and make-up like every girl, but you soon discover that Emilie is not a big make-up person for she tends to wear only very little. Usually, the only thing she always carries with her is lip-gloss, "the kind that smells like roses." Only for special occasions she wears mascara.

Also, the blond beauty does not consider fashion a vital part of her life as many other stars do. She normally wears "whatever (she feels) like wearing at the moment." Although she admits to sometimes spend a bit more on a pair of shoes (Jimmy Choo is one of her favourites), she normally prefers to spend her money otherwise.

Regarding her choice of clothes Emilie's current preference is vintage clothes in '50s style. She is not a big fan of the colour orange, but otherwise does not have any real colour preference, although she (tends) to like pink more than green or blue.

Emilie about her personal style:
"A lot of people make a mistake by trying to be too different and too out there. If I want to stand out, I don't want to stand out in the wrong way. I prefer classic style, maybe some things that don't match perfectly."

Despite Claire Littleton's obsession with peanut butter, Emilie de Ravin, ironically is allergic to anything with peanuts.

I so think she has the worst one. I thought Jack's was bad, Miles was pretty bad too but this is a whole new level of it! And Emilie's too pretty to be wearing it all season.

I just want to give Claire a hairbrush

I like crazy Claire. I'm going to be crucified for saying this, but I don't miss sweet Claire.

It's the wig that I hate.

The wig has to be one of the worst on the show. It doesn't look good.

Great Title and I agree with it.

I like crazy Claire because she does more and doesn't always act helpless. However, the wig really just needs to go. I mean I get she was crazy, but she could have washed her hair sometimes!

I think the wig is totally unnecessary. All they needed to do was make her own hair look wild and crazy.
