Elizabeth Keifer joined the cast of the CBS daytime drama GUIDING LIGHT as the spirited C. Blake Thorpe Marler in August 1992.
Keifer, who studied acting at the Academy of Stage and Cinema Arts and voice at the University of California in Los Angeles, is no stranger to daytime television. She portrayed Connie O'Neill on One Life to Live, Angela Lawrence on The Young & Restless, and Camelia McKay on General Hospital. Her numerous guest appearances on primetime television include Cheers, Married...With Children, Facts of Life, and Full House. She was in the movies-of-the-week Dallas: The Early Years and Thursday's Child, in which she co-starred with Rob Lowe. She also filmed the movie Rising Storm on location in Africa.
Keifer credits her sister, Mary, with her foray into entertainment. While they were growing up, Mary was always singing, blaring music around their home and participating in community productions. Each time one of the productions needed a child, Mary would volunteer her little sister, Liz, who then grew to love acting.
Keifer, who enjoys hiking, singing and getting lost in the romance of old Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant movies, holds a brown belt in karate. Born in Santa Monica, CA, to her late parents Grace and Richard Keifer, Liz and her four siblings, John, Brian, Mary, and Jim, were raised in Pacific Palisades, CA. Keifer and her husband, construction supervisor Robert Convertino, are the proud parents of Isabella Grace (b.4/28/98) and Keifer Jack (b.1/8/00). Her birthdate is November 14.
