She is known for her role as Macy Alexander Forrester Chambers Sharpe on The Bold and the Beautiful (1989-2000, 2001, 2002-2003.) and for her role as Krystal Carey Chandler Martin Hayward on All My Children (2003-2011). \n Biography\n Personal life: \nShe is the youngest of five daughters in an Air Force family. \nEakes was Miss Georgia 1982, and studied at the University of Georgia. She married novelist and actor David Steen on July 4, 1992. \n Career: \nEakes received bit roles on nighttime television series, such as Cheers, before becoming successful in the soap opera genre. In the mid-1980s, she was the lead singer of the dance-pop group Big Trouble. The group released one self-titled CD in 1987, which was produced by Giorgio Moroder. Their single \"Crazy World\" charted on the U.S. singles chart, reaching #71. \nShe first achieved fame in the role of Macy Alexander on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, which she played from 1989 to 2000 (on contract), 2001 (guest appearance), 2002 to 2003 (on contract), and 2011(on contract). A very popular \"good girl\" kind of character, Macy battled with her inner demons (including an addiction to alcohol) before finally finding happiness with Deacon Sharpe (played by Sean Kanan. On the show, Macy was an accomplished singer in her own right (in tune with Bobbie Eakes' hobby). Eakes is slated to return to the role as Macy in October 2011 for a unknown peroid of time. Eakes returned to the role in November 2011. \nBetween stints as Macy, Eakes hosted shows on the country music television channel Great American Country. She was also featured on country music singer Collin Raye's 2000 single \"Tired of Loving This Way\", which peaked at #50 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles \u0026amp; Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. \nOn July 7, 2000, her character \"died\" in a fiery explosion when her car crashed into a gasoline truck when the writers of the show felt the character of Macy no longer contributed to the show's storyline. She was brought back to the show during the B\u0026amp;B location shoot at Portofino, Italy in December 2002, and was then killed off after a chandelier fell on her during a concert in 2003. The decision was made to kill Macy off a second time after Eakes had decided to take the role of Krystal Carey on All My Children, as the complete opposite of Macy,playing the sexy and sassy character. The role of Krystal is loosely based on Eakes' Southern upbringing. \nEakes also starred in productions of Cinderella and Love Letters opposite her former costar Jeff Trachta in Los Angeles. The two are still friends offscreen. The CD they recorded together, \"Bold and Beautiful Duets\", went double-platinum in Europe. \nWith All My Children airing its final episode on ABC in September 2011, in June 2011 it was highly rumored that Bobbie Eakes would be returning to The Bold and the Beautiful. \n Filmography\nTelevision\n Year\nFilm\nRole\nNotes\n 1986 \nMatlock \nJoanne Leigh \n1 episode - as Bobbi Eakes \n 1987 \nJake and the Fatman \nApril Blue \n1 episode \n Falcon Crest \nDating Girl \n Werewolf \nMargaret \n 1988 \nCheers \nLaurie Drake \n1 episode (season 6, episode 15: Tale of Two Cuties) \n 1989 \nThe Wonder Years \nBookstore Clerk \n2 episodes \n 1989 \nFull House \nDiane \n1 episode \n 21 Jump Street \nBobbie \n1 episode \n The Bold and the Beautiful \nMacy Alexander \nRole from: April 27, 1989-July 30,2000, August 1-2, 2001, December 2002-October 2003 \n 1995 \nLand's End \nStephanie Wade \n1 episode \n 2001 \nDoc \nMolly Campbell \n1 episode \n JAG \nAnnabel Hart \n1 episode \n Days of our Lives \nMarchioness of La Cienega \n1 episode \n 2003 - 2011 \nAll My Children \nKrystal Carey \nDecember 12, 2003-September 23, 2011 \n 2004 - 2005 \nOne Life to Live \nKrystal Carey \n\n2004 \nHope \u0026amp;
