Early years

This section may contain original research or unverified claims. Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (October 2008)

Sonya Walger was born in London, England. She studied English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, where she received a first class degree. Walger is conversational in French and fluent in English and Spanish, as her father is Argentinean.¹

Career

In 1998 Sonya Walger played Becky in one episode of Midsomer Murders. She portrayed Flic in Goodnight Sweetheart in 1999 and appeared in two episodes of the crime/drama The Vice. She played Donna Barnes on the HBO TV series The Mind of the Married Man in 2001. On the US version of Coupling, which aired in 2003, she played Sally Harper. Other acting roles have included guest appearances on Lost as Desmond's girlfriend, Penelope "Penny" Widmore and recurring roles on Sleeper Cell and CSI: NY. In 2004, Walger played Nicole Noone opposite Noah Wyle in The Librarian: Quest for the Spear.

In 2007, Walger starred in the controversial HBO series Tell Me You Love Me. The series gained notoriety even before the first episode had aired because of the frequency and extremely realistic nature of its sex scenes. Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, these scenes were eventually confirmed as simulated by several individuals intimately connected with the show. With reference to the handjob apparently performed by Walger on actor Adam Scott at the end of the pilot episode,² show creator Cynthia Mort stated that "Sonya is not going to put her hands in a place that they shouldn't be."³ Director Patricia Rozema and Walger's co-stars Ally Walker and Jane Alexander also explicitly denied that any actual sex took place on set.⁴⁵⁶

Walger's recent guest starring roles included a supporting part as Michelle Dixon, the wife of Sarah Connor's former fiancé on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. For the past five years she has been seen in the recurring role of Penny Widmore, the long-lost love of Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick) and daughter of industrialist Charles Widmore on the hit ABC TV series Lost. More recently, Walger was cast in a starring role as Olivia Benford, a surgeon and wife of FBI agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) in the ABC TV series FlashForward, which recently received a full-season pick up by the network.

Personal life

Walger married screenwriter/producer Davey Holmes in July 2009. They currently live together in Los Angeles, California.
