Cady McClain (born Katie McClain on October 13 1969 in Burbank, California, U.S.) is an American actress.

Early career

McClain's professional acting career began in 1979 at the age of 10, when she was featured in a commercial for Band-Aid bandages.

Among her early credits was a recurring role on St. Elsewhere, and an appearance on Cheers, as Coach's niece Joyce. McClain first appeared in film at the age of 13, opposite Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year (1982).[1]

Daytime television

McClain is best known for two high-profile roles she has had on daytime television: the role of Dixie Cooney Martin on All My Children (1988-1996, 1998-2002, 2005-2007) and her recurring role on As the World Turns as Rosanna Cabot Montgomery (2002-2005, 2007-present).

McClain won her first Daytime Emmy in 1990 for "Outstanding Ingenue" on All My Children and in 2004, won her second Daytime Emmy Award for her portrayal of Rosanna on As the World Turns.

After McClain's stint at As the World Turns concluded, rumors circulated about a return to All My Children. In December 2005, McClain made an appearance on the show, and her popular character returned full-time a few months later. In a surprising turn of events, the character of Dixie was killed off via poisoned pancakes on January 30, 2007, which caused a massive negative outcry from longtime fans and soap opera media.[2][3] A front page headline on a Soap Opera Weekly cover story quoted McClain as saying, "There was no negotiation."[2]

McClain confirmed via a blog entry on her official site that she would return to her Emmy-winning role of Rosanna Cabot on As the World Turns. McClain returned to the screen July 30, 2007, when her character woke up from a two-year coma.

Other credits

According to McClain's biography on her official website, she has appeared in a number of theater productions, as well as several appearances in independent film over the last few years, including the movies Alma Mater, Retreat, and Soldier's Heart. [2]

She is also an accomplished singer, and in 2006 released an album, Blue Glitter Fish.[4]

Blog

McClain has maintained a personal and professional blog and also maintained a blog on the ABC website entitled "Confessions of a Mad Soap Star". Since her termination from All My Children, the blog, which allowed comments, has been locked and cannot be viewed. Podcasts of the blog are posted on the site.

McClain's blog entries touched on a number of topics pertaining to work as well as her personal life. She confirmed on her official blog that she is in a relationship with former As the World Turns co-star Hunt Block. She was also candid about her feelings towards the dismissal of former All My Children co-star Julia Barr, as well as challenges with her family and abuse she suffered as a child.

Personal life

McClain is also a painter, writes poetry, and plays Appalachian guitar. Her website displays artwork and collages that she has created.

McClain has written on her official blog that she owns homes in Westport, Connecticut (since 1992) and Bantam Lake, Connecticut.[1] She is also co-owner of a bar in New Orleans, Louisiana.[5] McClain is the sister of scholar and author Molly McClain.

McClain dated former co-star Hunt Block from 2005 to 2007 as reported by Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly.
