    Strong female lead hide show

    Strong Woman

    For most women it's very difficult to play a strong female lead character in a movie or TV series. This is why many Directors and Producer will tell you it's very risky to make the lead character a woman. Elizabeth Mitchell can add her name to a very short list of women who have pulled this off (Sigourney Weaver in Alien Saga and Kate Mulgrew in Star Trek Voyager). Elizabeth Mitchell plays her strong female lead role very well and her acting is top notch. I think the show will as at least a couple more years because of this.

    Elizabeth Mitchell is one of the driving forces behind the success of Lost over the last couple of seasons. Prior to Lost she had guest spots and small recurring roles, but this show has made her, and she in return has helped to make Lost good. hide show

    Elizabeth Mitchell is one of those faces that bounced around network television doing mostly guest spots on all sorts of shows. Then she landed on Lost, or rather was transported there by submarine... Her presence on the island and as the resident doctor has been gratifying and uplifting. She adds the much needed anti-Kate role that was lacking for the first few seasons. Also as someone with working knowledge of the island she is able to inform the crash survivors of what to do and where to go. As an actress she is fantastic and has the sense of being strong and intelligent while still appearing feminine and caring. Her beauty is obvious but the more important characteristic about her is the ability to convey the character's feelings without being "dramatic".

    The best actress I have ever seen. hide show

    I never understood how acting should look like and which actors are really good...until the season 3 premiere of LOST. When I first saw Elizabeth as Juliet in her house at the very beginning of the episode I didn't notice anything, but later it all changed. Near the ending of that episode she already was my favourite character of LOST. She really is a stunning woman (especially her eyes) - every scene she plays - she is the leader in it. Her acting is just flawless and I can say without any doubt that she really is the best actress in the world (and I watch many movies, so I can compare her with others, but I haven't seen anyone doing better than she is).

    Great Actress...very talent...love to see more of her. hide show

    I think her character comes across as a leader. Most of the roles have been revolving around Kate, but I would love to see more of Juliet. Her personality is very likable. She comes across as smart, calm, caring, but also someone who holds their own, and gets the truth out of anyone. Her character seams easily capable of taking on a leadership role. It almost seems like the men on the island don't notice Juliet, but how couldn't you? She is gorgious! I'm not sure if Sawyer and her are a great match. At this point I still see him with Kate. It seams like there has been too much of Jack falling for Kate that it almost weakens his character. It would be nice to see him fight for someone else and not of jealousy, maybe him, Desmond, and Sayid over Juliet? I love the surprises and the show! Great job!

    A real surprise and talented is a too small word for her. hide show

    Elizabeth Mitchell was a real surprise and a precious update to the female actors crew of the show. Beautiful, talented, intense and sexy enough to hold your breath on one side - and so intense that you forget about her beauty so you are just fascinated by her acting. WOW. So hopefully she will stay as long as possible in the show. And the show as long as possible on air. I have not seen her on many shows and films - but after that 'Exeptional Show' and her acting there, every cool TV - Show could be proud haveing her.
