Rebecca Herbst originated the role of teenager Elizabeth Webber in August of 1997. In February of this year, Rebecca won a Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Younger Lead Actress. She also received her first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in May 1999.
At the age of six, Becky told her mother that she wanted to be on television so that she could play with the toys. Since then, she has appeared in over 60 national commercials. She has guest-starred in many television series, including Highway to Heaven, L.A.

As a competitive ice-skater, Becky had to make a choice between skating and acting at the age of 16. Just five years later, Becky loves to ice-skate and rollerblade in her free time, but is very happy with her decision.
Becky and her many animals live with her family near Los Angeles. In June 2001, Herbst married former co-star Michael Saucedo (ex-Juan). The pair welcomed a son, Ethan, in November 2001.
