Raised in Warner Robins, GA, 5-foot-4-inch Bobbie Eakes originally moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music, but before long, she got her first break in the acting biz: a role on Laverne & Shirley. She didn't give up on singing, though, and became a member of the all girl band Big Trouble, which performed as the house band on the syndicated series Comedy Break. When the band broke up, she was offered the role of Macy Alexander on the CBS daytime-drame The Bold & the Beautiful, which she took in 1989. She sang frequently on the show, often with co-star and friend Jeff Trachta (ex-Thorne); their CD's, Bold and Beautiful Duets I and II, went double-platinum in Europe, where B&B is especially popular. She left B&B in 2000 and returned two years later. In 2003, when she landed the role of Krystal Carey on the ABC daytime-drama All My Children, Bobbie and her husband David Steen relocated to New York. The emmy nominated actress has also hosted the Top 20 Country Countdown for the Great American Country Network and released two solo CD's; Here and Now in 1998 and Something Beautiful in 2005. In her spare time, Bobbie enjoys donating her time to various charities and loves to paint.
