Bio

Born in Philadelphia to a deer-hunting father and a figure-skating mother, Kelly attended Catholic school as a girl and grew up running track, playing soccer, swimming and working as a lifeguard. Kelly would eventually try out to be in Playboy Magazine, and became Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for April 1997, one month before her 21st birthday.

She used the attention surrounding her jaw-dropping centerfold appearance to launch an acting career, at first getting uncredited roles in Baywatch, as a girl flying a kite, a rookie lifeguard and the body double of Carmen Electra, who couldn’t swim—and BASEketball, as a pole-dancing cheerleader. She followed that with credited parts in Idle Hands, Mumford, Port Charles and Spin City.

In 2003 Kelly began playing the character she’s best known for, sexy con artist Samantha “Sam” McCall on General Hospital. Her performances have led to two Emmy nominations, and though she has yet to take home Emmy hardware, she did pick up a win with her partner Alec Mazo on Dancing with the Stars.
