Early life

Raymonde was born in Los Angeles, California. Her father Jon Katz is an American of Russian-Jewish descent,[3] and her mother Anne-Marie Katz is a Catholic-French from Corsica.[3][4][5] She attended the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, where she obtained her French baccalauréat.

Raymonde's first television role was as Alice/Young Syd in "Syd in Wonderland", an episode of the TV series Providence. She subsequently appeared on other TV series, including The Brothers Garcia, The Nightmare Room, That's So Raven, The Guardian, Lost, Medium, Malcolm in the Middle, and NCIS.

In 2002, she starred in the film Children on Their Birthdays, her first feature film role. In 2003 she played Lauren O'Keefe in the sitcom The O'Keefes.

She is most known for her work on the ABC drama Lost, where she played Alex Rousseau, the adopted daughter of Benjamin Linus, played by Michael Emerson.

She also appeared in the films The Garage (2006), The Other Side of the Tracks (2008), Japan (2008), Chasing 3000 (2008), and Elsewhere (2009). She recurred opposite the late Dennis Hopper on the Starz series Crash. Raymonde also had a recurring role as Frankie Rafferty, Danny Pino's love interest, on season 6 of Cold Case.

At 17 she wrote, edited and directed the short film Cell Division, which competed in film festivals around the country.

In 2013, Raymonde was cast in Chicago P.D., a spin-off of the NBC series Chicago Fire. However, she, along with co-star Scott Eastwood, left the show for creative reasons.
