For the past 20 years, it has been difficult (if not impossible) to have even a casual relationship with film and television that does not involve an appreciation of Evangeline Lilly. Her starring role as airplane-crash survivor Kate Austin in the hit ABC series Lost ensured that she was a prime-time regular for six years straight, and in its aftermath she has translated that success into a career in film. This month, Lilly returns for the third installment in the Ant-Man series with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Herewith, she shares her key components to the good life. —Ashley Baker
