Cynthia Watros somewhat lost in a corset
July 9, 2007
A former star of the popular US drama series, Lost, says that when she had to wear a corset for her latest movie role, it was an unfamiliar experience.
Although in her role as Libby in ABC's Lost she had to contend with many difficulties, she was not prepared for the corset she had to wear as her character in a new made-for-TV Western.
Cynthia Watros plays a barmaid and former prostitute who happens to attract the love of a preacher in the film Avenging Angel, which is showing on the Hallmark Channel. The 38-year-old stars opposite Kevin Sorbo, who played Hercules in the 1990s.
She explained: "The corset took some getting used to. I'll say this, though, if you have any sort of posture problem, you just need to wear a corset for a few weeks. How can you slouch in a corset? People probably didn't realise I was this tall."
She added that getting used to a corset was not the only thing that was new. "I've got horses and chickens and children on set. I've got explosions, bar fights, town riots and buildings burning down. And I love every moment of it!," she said.
