Alice Jane Evans (born August 2, 1971 in Summit, New Jersey, USA)[1] is an actress perhaps most widely known for her role in the 2000 film 102 Dalmatians.[2]
Evans is the daughter of educators, was born in the United States and grew up in London. [1] She graduated from University College London after studying French and Italian. [3] [4] Evans moved to France after graduation where she was first noted for her role in Elisa - Top Model.[2]
Evans had an eight-year relationship with Olivier Picasso, the grandson of painter Pablo Picasso. She is engaged to Ioan Gruffudd. They met during the production of 102 Dalmatians. [5] [6]
In December 2006 she starred in Hallmark's The Christmas Card. It drew a huge audience and became the highest rating original movie ever for the channel. Evans played a young woman who is unable to choose between two men. In a strange reflection, her role in 2001's Best of Both Worlds held exactly the same plot.
Evans returned to London in 2006 to play the role of Etta in Peter Howitt's Dangerous Parking. In the film her character embarks on an illicit affair with another woman, played by Saffron Burrows. The film also features Tom Conti, Sean Pertwee and Rachel Stirling. It stars Peter Howitt in the lead role.
