Rena Sofer
Christie Dunbar on Blind Justice

Despite an upbringing that had her moving from town to town, Rena Sofer has a firmly based devotion to family much like that of her former General Hospital character, Lois. Born in Arcadia, California, Rena moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, following her parents' divorce, and later to North Bergen, New Jersey, where she finished high school. Her father is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in New Jersey; her mother lives in Boston where she teaches psychology.

At age 15, Rena was discovered by a New York talent agent who, taken by Rena's dark brown hair and deep blue eyes, directed her towards acting classes. Numerous roles on stage, and in feature films and television, soon followed. Rena made her feature film debut in "The Only One," and was also seen in director Sidney Lumet's "A Stranger Among Us."

Rena Sofer's numerous film credits include "Traffic" and the Disney comedy "Keeping the Faith." She also appeared in the remake of Stephen King's terror classic, "Carrie."

Sofer's dramatic TV roles include "General Hospital" -- for which she won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actress -- and "Melrose Place," while she has appeared in the comedies "Coupling," "Just Shoot Me," "Friends," "Seinfeld," "Spin City," "Ellen" and "Caroline in the City." She has also appeared on television in "Saved By the Bell: Hawaiian Style," "Another World," and as "Rocky" McKenzie on the ABC daytime drama, "Loving."

An active athlete, Rena enjoys hiking, rollerblading, yoga, cycling and swimming. She is also a successful businesswoman, with partnerships in several profitable endeavors including the "Calling 4 the Cure" AIDS information/fundraising phone card. Sofer lives in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles with her husband, father and seven-year-old daughter. A fitness aficionado, she likes to hike, rollerblade and do yoga.
