LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor Julian Sands, who has been reported as one of the multiple missing hikers in Mount Baldy, is married to author Evgenia Citkowitz and the pair has two children together.

The British thespian, 65, was reported missing after he went hiking in the mountains north of Los Angeles. Julian disappeared last Friday, January 13, in the Baldy Bowl area amid bad weather conditions in the San Gabriel mountains. Authorities said ground rescue teams were forced to pause their search efforts over the weekend due to avalanche risks, but the operation continued by drone and helicopter.

Who is Julian Sands’ wife Evgenia Citkowitz?

Evgenia Citkowitz is an accomplished author and journalist who was born in 1968 in New York. She was educated in the United States and the United Kingdom and shot to prominence with her debut novella 'The Shades', which was published by Farrar Straus and Giroux. As a successful writer and author, her works have been published in several British journals including The Sunday Times and London Magazine. Her story collection 'Ether' was picked up as New York Times Editors’ Choice and even made it to The New Yorker’s Book Club. Furthermore, Evgenia was one of the winners of The Word Factory's Neil Gaiman, Fables for a Modern World story competition, and also featured on the list for The Sunday Times EFG Private Bank short story award. She tied the knot with Julian in 1990.

It's worth noting that Julian has been married twice. His first wife was British journalist Sarah Harvey Sands, who graduated from the University of London and worked with a number of British media outlets including the London Evening Standard and the BBC. She wed Julian in 1984 but parted ways shortly after in 1987. The pair was, however, dating for more than a decade. Three years after divorcing Sarah, Julian took the holy vows with Evgenia and the couple has been together ever since.

As mentioned, the acclaimed actor was reported missing on Friday and was last seen hiking Mt Baldy, near Los Angeles. Search and rescue teams were deployed instantly, but the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office revealed how "severe weather and alpine conditions" had delayed their efforts. “Due to the severe weather and alpine conditions, the search has been difficult and the use of air resources was limited over the weekend," the department said in a statement. Julian's family reported him missing after he didn't return home from his hike in the San Gabriel Mountains, which was hit by heavy snow and ice over the weekend. Authorities described the conditions as "extremely dangerous" and advised hikers to postpone any plans at this time.



 

Julian is a father of three. He shares his son Henry Sands, born in 1985, with his ex-wife Sarah. The actor has two daughters with his current wife Evgenia, namely Natalya Morley Sands, born in August 1996, and Imogen, born in December 1999. Among Julian's most popular roles are those in the movies 'A Room with a View', 'Arachnophobia', 'The Killing Fields', and 'Boxing Helena'. He has also played roles in a number of television series, including '24', 'Smallville', and 'Banshee'. Most recently, Julian had a recurring role in the 2019 Netflix series 'What/If' and the 2019 Hulu series 'A Nasty Piece of Work'.
