Erin Torpey joined "One Life to Live" at the age of eight,
playing Jessica Buchanan, who has grown into a pretty, bright
teenager dealing with the struggles of first love. Her
relationship with boyfriend Cristian Vega created friction
between their two families, but they continue to care deeply
for one another. Erin's portrayal of Jessica earned her the
1997 Soap Opera Award for Outstanding Teen Performer.
Erin made her Broadway debut in the 1990 revival of "Cat on
a Hot Tin Roof," starring Charles Durning and Kathleen
Turner. Her next Broadway stint was at age 11, in the
musical version of Neil Simon's "The Goodbye Girl," starring
Bernadette Peters and Martin Short. Erin has appeared in
stage productions of "Evita" and "Annie," among others, and
can be heard on numerous television and radio jingles.
When she is not working on "One Life to Live," Erin enjoys
singing, rollerblading, tennis, swimming, and talking on the
phone.
