The Evil Queen / Regina Mills

Character Bio

Regina, the Evil Queen, has been called the enemy of happy endings.  Here is a woman with a will to power so dark that she destroyed an entire world just to exact revenge on her enemies.  Once, though, there was a time when Regina longed for her own happy ending, when she would have given up all the power in the land for the love of a simple stable boy.  But when her mother murdered him, Regina’s heart died with her betrothed. Dedicating her life to the practice of dark magic, the Queen thought she would never be capable of love again. Something unexpected happened, though, when she adopted Henry in Storybrooke: the heart she thought she had lost began to return.  The one truly good thing in her life, Regina would do anything for her son. With magic having found its way to Storybrooke, however, their bond may soon be tested like never before.

 

Lana Parrilla on playing Evil Queen / Regina:

"'Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most wicked character to play of all?'... It's always been a dream to portray archetypal villains! Developing both the Queen and Mayor Regina, whose sinister complexities are most compelling and yet thrilling to perform, has been quite an exciting journey! These are two women you are going to love to hate!"
