Women of 2000 #6: Rebecca Herbst

Soap Opera Update
February 14, 2000

It's almost impossible to describe in a little under 200 words what it is about Rebecca Herbst that allows her to transcend so many labels - she registers as your best friend, your sister and your soulmate all in one thought process. While it's difficult to put a stamp on why we love Herbst, It's easy to describe her persona: as sweet as maple syrup and as sincere as a child. A 1990s Sally Field, Herbst won viewer's approval with her heart-wrenching portrayal of a rape victim. Astute, vulnerable and intuitive, she quickly absorbed the talents of her magnmimous colleagues - Emmy winners Anthony Geary and Jonathan Jacson - while developing gifts og her own that would deem her to a true origional and our favorite face of innocence.
