Though Even Donovan hasn’t been seen on Days of our Lives since Christmas 2019 – when she drunkenly insisted that she had booked a plane ticket to get far, far away from the denizens of Salem – her portrayer, Kassie DePaiva, is still just as busy as ever and she’s currently celebrating a major milestone.
Happy Birthday, Kassie DePaiva
That’s because she was born on March 21, 1961, in Morganfield, Kentucky, which means that this talented actress is turning 59 years old today! DePaiva’s early career triumphs were due to her vocal talents but she eventually turned her attention towards one in acting.
Her first role was Chelsea Reardon on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light, which she held from October 1986 to January 1991. During her tenure with the venerable show, DePaiva also appeared in the horror-comedy Evil Dead 2 as Bobby Joe.
In 1993, DePaiva was tapped to replace actress Mia Korf in the part of Blair Cramer, a pivotal One Life to Live character. She would remain in the role until that series final episode 20 years later.
After reprising the Blair Cramer character on OLTL’s sister show General Hospital, DePaiva debuted on NBC’s Days of our Lives as Eve Donovan. She held the role – off and on – until December 2019.
DePaiva’s other credits include guest spots on episodes of Time Trax, Melrose Place, Baywatch, and Castle. She also appeared in the film We Are What We Are and the short feature Exit.
The actress is married to her former OLTL co-star James DePaiva (ex-Max; ex-Dr. David Bensch, GH) and they have a son, James Quentin, who goes by the name JQ.
