They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we wonder what good is a picture when you can’t recognize the subject? Above is a snapshot of a future star of soaps, but can you guess who this fashion-forward youngster grew up to be?
Star Of The Soaps
Obviously this young woman (now all grown up) is either currently starring in, or is an alum of, one of the four remaining daytime dramas – The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless – but that’s probably not enough of a hint.
So try these on for size. She is a soap hopper (with four serials under her belt). She appeared in a feature film alongside Peter Fonda. She met a future spouse on a filming set. And she appeared in a music video for the rock band Everclear.
But just who can she be? Is this a photograph of Nancy Sloan (ex-Katie Logan, BB), Kassie DePaiva (Eve Donovan, DAYS), Laura Wright (Carly Roberts Corinthos, GH), or Amelia Heinle (Victoria Newman, YR)?
Nancy Sloan
Sloan made her television debut as a part of BB’s inaugural cast back in March of 1987. She subsequently appeared on DAYS, but that’s the extent of her soap opera career. So that puts her out of the running as the potential answer to today’s identity query.
Kassie DePaiva
Though four-time soap opera star DePaiva did indeed meet husband James while they both toiled on the set of One Life to Live (where she played Blair Cramer and he played Max Holden), she isn’t today’s featured star.
Laura Wright
And neither is Wright. This in spite of the fact that she has appeared on four daytime soaps (Loving, The City, Guiding Light, and General Hospital) and found love with someone she met on the GL set (and now is also on GH), Wes Ramsey (ex-Sam, GL; Peter August, GH).
Amelia Heinle
Heinel’s first professional credit was Stephanie “Steffi” Brewster on ABC’s Loving. And like Laura Wright, Heinle would reprise her role in that series spinoff program, The City.
She subsequently starred in a number of made-for-TV movies – including Black Cat Run, Purgatory, The Only Living Boy in New York, and Earth vs. Spider – a feature film entitled The Limey (where she played Peter Fonda’s girlfriend), the music video for the Everclear single I Will Buy You A New Life, and two other daytime soaps: All My Children (ex-Mia Saunders) and YR.
So if you guessed that the future star of soaps seen in the image above was Amelia Heinle – a two-time Daytime Emmy Award winner – then you were absolutely correct!
