Subsequent Projects and Plastic Surgery Rumors
She was then cast as Ann Haskett in the pilot Haskett’s Chance but it wasn’t picked up. In 2006, she gained significant attention for her role as Dr. Juliet Burke in the critically acclaimed series Lost. For her performance as Juliet, she won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Television and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series.
From 2009 to 2011, she also became known for her role as Erica Evans in the science fiction television series V. For her work in the show, she was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television. From 2012 to 2014, she played Rachel Matheson in post-apocalyptic science fiction series Revolution.
Not only is she known for her critically acclaimed roles on television, Mitchell also gained recognition for her fair share of plastic surgery rumors. The 44-year-old actress is accused of having a rhinoplasty procedure as observers are claiming that her “new” nose should be attributed for her transformed appearance.
Her original nose already looked good but for some reasons, the Lost actress decided to go under the knife to have it changed, particularly its size and shape. Today, it can be noticed that her nose appears to be smaller and pinched, especially at the tip.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif seemed to agree with such claims, saying Mitchell’s nose in the present appears to be unnaturally straight and has gone too small for her face. Many observers think that her present nose isn’t really an improvement as it just made her face look a little bit weird.
