----

{{test-n|Brownian motion}}

She was best known for her role as Annie Dutton on the [[CBS]] [[soap opera]] ''[[Guiding Light]]'' from [[1994]] to [[1998]]. Watros' character began as a heroine, but she gained notice and critical acclaim when her character's rivalry with Reva led her to become a scheming villianess. In 1998, Watros won a [[Daytime Emmy Award]] as

"Outstanding Lead Actress" for her role on ''Guiding Light''.

In 1998, Watros briefly filled in for [[Jensen Buchanan]] as Victoria Hudson McKinnon

on ''[[Another World (TV series)|Another World]]'' while Buchanan was on maternity leave.

She is also known for her TV roles as Erin Fitzpatrick on ''[[Titus (sitcom)|Titus]]'' from [[2000]] to [[2002]] and Kellie Newmark on ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]'' from [[2002]] to [[2004]]. She was recently cast as the character of Libby on the popular ABC series ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]''.

== Trivia ==

Watros overcame a serious disease as a teenager; she was diagnosed with [[immune thrombocyopenia]], an [[autoimmune]] disease of the [[blood]]. It required several years of [[chemotherapy]] and a [[splenectomy]].

Watros has had a complicated history with ''[[Guiding Light]]'' costar [[Kim Zimmer]], who plays [[Reva Shayne]]. Zimmer and Watros met when they costarred in an off-Broadway show, "Four Dogs and a Bone" by [[John Patrick Shanley]]. Although there is no long-standing rivalry, working in close quarters apparently caused a serious rift between them when they both appeared on ''[[Guiding Light]]''.

Watros is married and has twin daughters, Emma Rose and Sadie Anna (b. [[July 14]], [[2001]]).
