LAURA LEIGHTON

Laura Leighton (Sydney Andrews) made her professional acting debut on Melrose Place.

After high school, she moved from Iowa City, Iowa, to Los Angeles and performed as a singer and dancer with The Young Americans on their national tour. She then appeared in several national television commercials. Though she plays one of nighttime soap's most compelling characters, she says, "I didn't even have a television when I was growing up."

Laura currently resides in Los Angeles.
