Mira Furlan’s husband stated in a Croatian magazine that she asked to be written out out of the show because she didn’t like constantly being in Hawaii.
“She got bored of Hawaii. She got ”island fever” - that’s how cast of Lost jokingly calls it. Simply, she didn’t want to be on that island, she didn’t want to work that job, so she made a deal with the producers to kill her character off.”
Her husband also mentioned that she might be back for the next season:
“…her character is pretty popular with fans of the series, so they [the writers] left a possibility for comeback next season.”

Actress Mira Furlan, a native of Zagreb who has after forging a great career in ex-Yugoslavia moved to the US and become a successful actress there has won a court battle with the city of Zagreb finally returning her home after 16 years.
Furlan has been awarded back her flat in Zagreb, which she had left at the beginning of the 1990’s, as he was hounded for culturally cooperating with Belgrade colleagues, something that brought about a smear campaign against her.
The city authorities’ representatives have said they were pleased with the outcome, as they were not the ones launching the court case against her, but those who had thrown her out of the flat she grew up in and lived in with her grandmother.
