Carmen Llywelyn (also known as Carmen Lee) is an American actress and photographer.
She starred in the 1996 film Drawing Flies, a View Askew production directed by Matthew Gissing and Malcolm Ingram, and produced by Kevin Smith. She portrayed Kim in the 1997 film Chasing Amy directed by Kevin Smith; co-stars included Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, and Joey Lauren Adams. She appeared in the 2000 film Cowboys and Angels alongside actors Radha Mitchell and Mia Kirshner. She was the lead actress in Free opposite Corin Nemec, also starring Randall Batinkoff and Ione Skye.
In 1994, Llywelyn met Jason Lee, then a professional skateboarder. In 1995, the couple was married in a ceremony presided over by actor Bodhi Elfman. In March 2001, the couple lived together in Southern California. Llywelyn and Lee obtained a divorce in 2001. Lee stated of their separation, "Our breakup had nothing to do with Hollywood or my career."
Llywelyn entered a long-term relationship in 2003 and the couple became parents of twins in 2004. As of 2015, the family lived together in Atlanta.
Llywelyn was introduced to the Church of Scientology by her then-partner Jason Lee. According to Llywelyn, her resistance to becoming more involved with Scientology was a cause of problems in their relationship.
According to her account, when she revealed to her talent manager that she had read A Piece of Blue Sky, a book critical of the Church, she was labeled a Suppressive Person and shunned (or "disconnected") by her friends within the church. Llywelyn's manager, a member of the Church, also "disconnected" and allegedly convinced United Talent Agency to drop Llywelyn as a client.
