Biography

Born Gina Tognoni in St. Louis, Missouri. Tognoni gained confidence in the limelight early on through local beauty pageants in Rhode Island before heading to New York to follow her dream of being an actress.

In 1995, Gina originated the role of Kelly Cramer on One Life to Live, captivating daytime audiences through 1991, before adding to her credits such as Pride & Loyalty, Fastlane, This Time Around, and The Wonderful World of Disney.

In 2004, she took over the role of Dinah on Guiding Light, winning Tognoni 2 Daytime Emmys for her gamble.

Tognoni didn’t rest on her laurels. She scored roles on Law & Order: SVU and the Sopranos. In 2009, Gina joined the cast of Venice the Series through 2010, before returning to New York and her role as Kelly Cramer on OLTL.

After leaving OLTL again in 2011, Gina took some time off to spend time with her husband, Joseph Chiarelli, in Hoboken, New Jersey, and start a new business with her family, a shoe business called Sole9, which raised money and awareness for women in need. But Daytime came knocking again.

In 2014, Gina scored the pivotal role of Phyllis on daytime’s #1 soap, The Young and the Restless. It was risky. The fans adored Michelle Stafford, but Tognoni made the role her own, and won the admiration of critics and fans alike, winning her another Emmy in 2017.

When she is not working, Tognoni and her husband divide their time between New Jersey and Los Angeles.[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”” css=”.vc_custom_1507366064454{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
