Kelly Ripa
Kelly Ripa had always dreamt of acting. She was a member of the drama club while enrolled at Eastern Regional High School in New Jersey and she can credit her former passion of representing the high school as a cheerleader for the energy brought to every project she’s completed since.
Ripa’s professional beginning in acting happened in 1990 when she landed the role of Hayley Vaughan on All My Children, a role that she committed to for two decades. Ripa’s name became so popular that she eventually went on to host her own morning show, Live! with Kelly and Ryan.
