Kimberlin Brown

 ( 1961 Births ) 

She had a role in the 1992 film The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them and guest starred on in 1997.

Brown had a short term role as Shelly Clark on the NBC soap opera Another World in 1999. She then joined the cast of the ABC soap opera Port Charles as Rachel Locke, from July 1999 to November 2000. She made return appearances to the show in 2001 and 2002. Brown and her Port Charles co-star, Nolan North, guest starred in two episodes of Six Feet Under, playing soap opera actors.

In 2003, Brown appeared in the film Becoming Marty. She then returned to The Bold and the Beautiful, once again playing Sheila Carter.

In 2005, Brown returned as Sheila on The Young and the Restless after a long absence from the show. In early 2006, she was released from her contract on The Young and the Restless. When her character returned later that year, the role was played by Michelle Stafford, because Sheila had undergone plastic surgery to look like Stafford's character, Phyllis Summers.

Brown had a role in the 2008 film, Proud American.

In 2011, Brown was cast in Gregori J. Martin's web-series The Bay. She first appeared in a summer special, Far From The Bay, and continued on in the series' second season. She starred in a short film, The Necklace, and co-starred with Tom Sizemore in the 2013 film Five Hour Friends.

In June 2017, it was announced that Brown would return to The Bold and the Beautiful as Sheila. That same year, she joined the cast of The Rich and the Ruthless, a comedic series written and produced by her former The Young and the Restless co-star, Victoria Rowell.

After departing The Bold and the Beautiful in 2018, Brown returned once again as Sheila in 2021. She received a 2022 Daytime Emmy Award nomination as Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role as Sheila. Her storyline seemed to reach a final conclusion in 2024, when Sheila was stabbed to death by Steffy Forrester. Brown confirmed that Sheila was really dead. It was soon announced that Sheila was still alive, because Steffy had stabbed her look alike, Sugar, instead.

In October 2017, Brown formally announced her candidacy as a Republican for California's 36th congressional district, challenging Democrat Raul Ruiz in the November 2018 election. She lost the election, receiving 41% of the vote to Ruiz's 59%.
