Cynthia Watros (born September 2, 1968 in Lake Orion, Michigan) is an
American actress.
She was best known for her role as Annie Dutton on the CBS soap opera
Guiding Light from 1994 to 1998. Watros' character began as a heroine, but
she gained notice and critical acclaim when her character's rivalry with
Reva Shayne (played by Kim Zimmer) led her to become a scheming villianess.
In 1998, Watros won a Daytime Emmy Award as "Outstanding Lead Actress" for
her role on Guiding Light.

OIn 1998, Watros briefly filled in for Jensen Buchanan as Victoria Hudson
McKinnon on Another World while Buchanan was on maternity leave.
She is also known for her TV roles as Erin Fitzpatrick on Titus from 2000 to
2002 and Kellie Newmark on The Drew Carey Show from 2002 to 2004. In 2005
she was cast as psychologist Libby on the popular ABC series Lost.
Personal Life
Watros overcame a serious disease as a teenager; she was diagnosed with
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an autoimmune disease of the blood. It
required several years of chemotherapy and a splenectomy.
Watros has had a complicated history with Guiding Light costar Kim Zimmer.
Zimmer and Watros met when they costarred in an off-Broadway show, "Four
Dogs and a Bone" by John Patrick Shanley. Although there is no long-standing
rivalry, working in close quarters apparently caused a serious rift between
them when they both appeared on Guiding Light.
Watros is married and has twin daughters, Emma Rose and Sadie Anna (b. July
14, 2001).
Watros and her Lost costar Michelle Rodriguez were pulled over and arrested
on the morning of December 1, 2005 in Kailua, Hawaii, where Lost is filmed.
According to the arresting officers, the two actresses, who were driving in
separate cars, were weaving in and out of traffic on Pali Highway, which
connects Kailua and Honolulu. Watros and Rodriguez were arrested at 12:20am
and 12:05am, respectively, and both failed sobriety tests. Both were booked
at the main Honolulu police station for driving under the influence of an
intoxicant. They were released on $500 bail, and have a driver’s license
revocation hearing scheduled for December 29. |
