From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
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 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.
In 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. She was recently cast as the character of Libby on the popular ABC series Lost.
Trivia
Watros overcame a serious disease as a teenager; she was diagnosed with immune thrombocyopenia, 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, who plays Reva Shayne. 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).
