Lost star Evangeline Lilly was so uncomfortable with her beauty when she was a teenager she would plead with God to make her ugly. The Canadian actress had been a tomboy for most of her childhood but when she turned 16, she suddenly blossomed into a stunning young woman.
She explains, "I spent many nights crying myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I looked."
The star become so uneasy with the unwanted attention that it drove her to quit her job as a waitress, which helped her pay for her college education. She adds, "I felt like a whore. You feel like they're paying to stare at your a*s when you're walking away from the table."
