Kelly Ripa had been performing in her senior high school play, The Ugly
Duckling, when she was approached by her current manager, Cathy Parker,
who encouraged her to pursue acting. After attending new Jersey's
Camden County Community College, she performed in local theater
productions before joining La force du destin (1970) in November, 1990. Kelly has
received nominations for a 1993 Daytime Emmy Award and a 1993 Soap
Opera Award. Kelly is the first in her family to enter the acting
profession. She had studied ballet since age three, plays the piano
and, in her words, is "no Barbra Streisand", but can carry a tune.
