Lesli Kay
In November 2005, Kay assumed the role of Felicia Forrester on "The Bold and the Beautiful", taking over for Colleen Dion after a year's absence. "Bold and the Beautiful" Head Writer Bradley Bell had planned to kill her character off from cancer. However, a huge fan outpouring, including petitions and numerous letters, in addition to Ms. Kay's job of making the role her own, convinced Bell to keep Kay on the cast. Her character, Felicia Forrester was resurrected from the dead. Lesli Kay invested herself into the cancer storyline so much that she shaved her head for the role. Kay was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress at the "34th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" but lost to Genie Francis.
