Leven Rambin is a Supermodel

Leven Rambin is becoming quite the supermodel.

Similar to her alter-ego on All My Children, Ava, Rambin is the new face and spokeswoman of the Caressa Jewelry line (seen here on that company’s website). She is also the new face of Izzy Gold Clothing’s Spring line.

Caressa has two collections that feature Leven, both inspired by women from the 18th or 19th centuries; Izzy Gold, meanwhile, is a funky clothing line by Sean Ono Lennon and Alexandria Hilfiger.

Greg Rikaart: It’s Good to be Bad

Greg Rikaart may have a pretty fact, but his character on The Young and the Restless has been anything but a perfect citizen of Genoa City over the year.

The actor, however, embraces the dark side of Kevin.

“I love it! I really love it!” Rikaart recently said. “There’s something fascinating about playing the bad guy. Kevin is such a departure from who I am and what I’ve played before… it’s such great escapism.”

Rikaart says the trick to longevity is to create sympathy in an unsympathetic character. He’s certainly succeeded in that task on The Young and the Restless.

“I accepted the role and went into it thinking that Kevin comes from a background with a lot of pain. I don’t want to play this person who is really evil only for the sake of being evil. He’s really a tortured soul.”

Rebecca Herbst Celebrates 10 Years on General Hospital

Rebecca Herbst PictureRebecca Herbst recently celebrated a decade-long run on General Hospital.

And the actress sound as satisfied and excited as ever about her work:

“It’s been a really good run. I was very excited to meet that 10-year mark. [On my anniversary date] I came home to a living room full of balloons and flowers, and my children had written me cards. My husband made sure that it was celebrated,” she said.

So, when the actress originated the role of Elizabeth so many years ago, did she ever foresee all the drama and turmoil that her character would go through during the years?

“I never really envisioned it because I had never watched soap operas, so I wasn’t really privy to what characters go through and what they’re all about,” Herbst said. “My sister and I were not allowed to watch them growing up, so the drama was … well, I knew they were dramatic, but not this dramatic.”

Fans of General Hospital have been lucky to watch such a talented performer add to that drama for over a decade now.
