| Mary Beth Evans joined the cast of the CBS daytime drama, AS THE WORLD TURNS, in the recurring role of Sierra Montgomery in December 2000. Worried about the strained relationship between her son, Bryant, and his father, Craig, Sierra periodically returns to the town of Oakdale to check in on the both of them as well as her mother, Lucinda Walsh.
From the time Evans was voted Best Actress by her fourth grade classmates, she set her sights on a performing career. Following her graduation from Huntington Beach (CA) High School, Evans spent five months in Europe before joining the prestigious South Coast Repertory Conservatory.
Best known to daytime audiences for her portrayals of Kayla Brady Johnson on Days of our Lives and Katherine Bell on General Hospital, her other television credits include the series, Rituals, and episodic work on Murder, She Wrote, Remington Steele, Crime and Punishment, and the movie-of-the-week, Secrets of A Mother and Daughter. She has also appeared in the films Toy Soldiers, Lovelines and Protocol. On stage, Evans has appeared at the Beverly Hills Playhouse in All This and Moonlight and in a production of Love Letters at the Canon Theatre.
Born in Pasadena, CA, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actress has been married to Dr. Michael Schwartz since 1985, with whom she has three children Danny (b. 1987), Katie (b. 1989) and Matthew (b. 1992). Evans was born on March 7. |
