| Rather than shrivel up in the powerful presence of Regis, Kelly has played him like a violin on Live! With Regis and Kelly. The daytime diva has proven that she has the chutzpah to kibitz with the curmudgeon of talk shows and come out on top. |
 |
| Kelly Ripa became famous with soap opera fans after she appeared on All My Children as Hayley Vaughan in 1990. When she won the right to replace the annoying yet popular Kathie Lee Gifford as sidekick to Regis Philbin, her fame jumped to a new level. |

Kelly Ripa was born October 2, 1970 in Stratford, New Jersey. Her father Joe, a labor union president, and her mother Esther, a homemaker, eventually moved to Berlin, New Jersey, where Kelly grew up with younger sister Linda, now a children's book author.
Kelly's foray into show business was somewhat of a fluke. After performing in her senior high-school play, The Ugly Duckling, she was encouraged to pursue acting. She had studied ballet since age three and played the piano but had not considered entertaining as a career.
Kelly enrolled in Camden Community College in New Jersey and landed parts in local theater productions, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Wizard of Oz and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. |
