Biography

Brown was born in Eureka, California to David and Pamela Brown. Her acting career began at the age of 17, when she was cast as Kaitlin Star on the syndicated children's show, VR Troopers. In 1996, she made a guest appearance in a 3-part episode of Power Rangers: Zeo playing Heather, a girl that sparks interest in Tommy Oliver (played by Jason David Frank). That same year, however, she began playing her best known role, Caroline "Carly" Corinthos on the American ABC soap opera, General Hospital. Brown played Carly from April 1996 through April 2001, and won three Daytime Emmy Awards for her work (1997 and 1998 for best younger actress and in 2000 for best supporting actress).

After leaving General Hospital, Brown guest-starred on many hit television series, including Crossing Jordan, Strong Medicine, The Sopranos and Without a Trace. She returned to daytime in the role of Julia Morrisey Larrabee on As the World Turns from August 2004 to March 2005.

In 2004, Brown played the lead role of Kate Vignatti in the fact-based television movie The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story. She became a regular on the popular CBS crime drama Cold Case in the fall of 2005 but was let go after only a few months (she appeared in five episodes) with the series. In 2006, she starred in her first feature film, the comedy, Big Momma's House 2 and had a recurring role on Monk the same year. Brown was most recently seen in the second season finale of The Closer and on a 2007 episode of the FOX police drama K-Ville.

Brown is a practicing convert to Judaism.[1] She has one daughter, Jordan Alexandra Judith (b. July 20, 1998); the father is Brown's ex-fiancé, Israeli composer Shuki Levy.

Brown returned to General Hospital on January 31, 2008 in the roles of Claudia Zacchara.
