Famous Quote: “Because I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with me or that I’m obsessed with death. The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.”

Wynter’s interest in acting led her to move to New York City when she was seventeen to study drama.

Ultimately, her character became the love interest of Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer. Between interacting with the Warner family, Bauer, and the terrorists, Wynter had ample opportunities to showcase her impressive range, in addition to her icy beauty.
