Ana Lucia

Ana Lucia

Ana Lucia Cortez is a fictional character on the ABC television series Lost, played by Michelle Rodriguez. Ana Lucia made her first appearance as a guest star in the first season finale, and became part of the main cast for season two. After Oceanic Flight 815 splits in mid-air, the tail section and fuselage crash on opposite sides of a mysterious island. Ana Lucia becomes the leader of the tail section. Flashbacks in her two centric episodes, "Collision" and "Two for the Road", show her life as a police officer before the crash. Rodriguez provoked controversy after being stopped by the police for driving under the influence a few weeks before her character was killed, leading to speculation that this was the reason for her death. The producers of Lost stated that Rodriguez was only signed for a one season deal, so Ana Lucia's death was written in from the beginning. Later, in a 2020 podcast, Lindelof confirmed Rodriguez expressed interest in continuing the role beyond her one-season deal, but they revealed they had already planned her death storyline. She is shot and killed by Michael Dawson.
