Once Upon A Time Gets Beauty-ful: Emilie de Ravin cast as Belle

Beauty and the Beast, anyone?
ABC‘s new hit show, Once Upon A Time, has once gotten dipped into the Lost pool, snagging Aussie Emilie de Ravin to play Belle from the classic fairy tale.
Fellow Lost alum and New Zealander Alan Dale is also on the show.
De Ravin will be appearing late in the season but there is no word if Belle will join by the Beast. Belle will have a connection to Rumplestiltskin in the show that turns enchanting fairy tales into real life.
The evil Gaston is also set to appear so let’s hope the Beast appears as well to rescue the damsel in distress!
