When British actress Alice Evans launched her screen career, she placed particularly heavy emphasis on audience-pleasing comedic roles in both English and U.S. films that typically cast her as a svelte young lass or a sexy romantic interest. Evans made her first real impression among American audiences with a gentle, amiable turn as a dog-loving parole officer in the Disney comedy 102 Dalmatians. She "went period" — 18th century to be exact — as a kidnapping victim in The Abduction Club (2002), appeared as Vince Vaughn's suggestively clad paramour in the farce National Lampoon's Blackball (2003), and played a sinister vamp harboring vampiric secrets and ambitions in the potboiler Fascination (2004).
