Krista Allen
Biography
Krista
Allen made her August 1996 debut on "Days of Our Lives"
as the sweet and endearing Billie Reed. Since "Days" has
been a television staple in the Allen household since it debuted
31 years ago, Allen felt familiar with the surrounding from day
one. Her favorite character on the show? Billie, of course, "because
she seems so normal and she really is a lot like me," says
Allen.
Originally
from Ventura, California, Allen spent years in Texas before settling
in Los Angeles. Although she set her sights on acting at an early
age, (going as far as pretending to make Oscar and Emmy acceptance
speeches), Allen was very shy and afraid to get in front of people.
An Education major at the University of Texas, she interned as a
kindergarten teacher before she decided to pursue her dream of an
acting career.
After
serving as a national spokesmodel for Budweiser and Montgomery Ward,
gracing numerous billboards and posters, Allen embarked on a television
career without any formal training: "The red light went on
and I froze," says Allen, "I was like a deer in the headlights."
She soon regained her confidence and landed the role of Shelly on
"Bold and the Beautiful." In addition, she made guest
appearances on numerous episodics, including "Silk Stalkings"
and "Married With Children." Just days before she became
"Billie Reed," Allen completed the feature film "Liar,
Liar" with Jim Carrey.
When
not in front of the camera, Allen enjoys gardening, cooking and
painting. She loves and dedicates her life to helping children and
animals.
