Get to Know a Soap Opera Star: Leven Rambin

Leven Rambin dresses similar to High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens. This has already been established.

Not as well-known, however? The following facts about this All My Children actress:

• Kristen Alderson (Starr, One Life to Live) is one of her closest pals.
• Her name means "life" in Dutch.
• She has hosted several Walk Now events for Cure Autism Now, a charity raising money for autism.
• Older sister Mary is the designer of Moe bags.
• Her childhood nickname was Nin.

Meanwhile, what do co-stars say about Rambin?

"One of my first days on the show, she just knocked on my dressing room door and marched right in. I know she would be a good comrade right off the bat; she was the most welcoming and definitely the most gregarious."—Bobby Steggert (ex-Sam, All My Children), Soap Opera Digest, 8/23/05

"She's doing a really good job, she truly is."— Walt Willey

"I love when I get to dress up and feel pretty and sexy. In fact, I'm wearing Vera Wang tonight. What's funny is I held up the dress and Leven, who is definitely one of the fashionistas at AMC, eyed it and said, 'Vera Wang.'"— Chrishell Stause
