Career
Career
Lombard's major break in modeling was a photoshoot with a 'Native American' theme. A year later, one of her photographs was chosen for a billboard that led to her first acting role. Photographs of her as a model have appeared in the magazines Elle and Vogue. Lombard studied acting in New York City at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and the Actors Studio, where she also gained stage experience performing at the Gallery Theatre and Neighborhood Playhouse. Lombard's first film role was as a princess in L'île (The Island). In 1993, she played her first major role as Antoinette Cosway, a Jamaican heiress, in Wide Sargasso Sea, based on the novel of the same name by Jean Rhys. She had supporting parts in The Firm (1993) and Legends of the Fall (1994), and starred in Last Man Standing (1996) with Bruce Willis. In the 2000s, she moved to television, appearing in The 4400 and as restaurateur Marina Ferrer in the first season of The L Word. She also played the recurring character Geneviève on FX's Rescue Me.
