Remember Evangeline from The House of Elliot? Actress Louise Lombard looks unrecognisable now
Evangeline was a staple on British Sunday night TV in the early 90s
CAST your mind back to the Sunday nights in the early 90s, what could you be found doing?
Many of us will have been found curled up on the sofa watching The House of Elliot.
The TV show was about two sisters in 1920s London, who teamed up on a dressmaking business which eventually transformed into a haute couture fashion house.
The siblings were called Beatrice and Evangeline Elliot, with the show airing between 1991 and 1994.
Beatrice was played by Stella Gonet, who went on to appear on Holby City.
Louise Lombard had the role of Evangeline, and her career really took off after the show.
Between 2004 and 2011 she appeared in US TV show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, starring as Sofia Curtis.
That role came after she'd decided to take a career break.
Louise didn't rest on her laurels though - instead she spent her downtime studying for a degree in English literature at Cambridge University.
Her transformation is all the more surprising given fans of The House of Elliot will remember her as a short-haired brunette.
These days Louise has long blonde hair, and the California tan to match it.
Most recently she appeared in some episodes of US TV show Grimm, and another show called Star-Crossed.
