Beth Ehlers










Beth Ehlers (born July 23, 1968) is a Daytime Emmy-nominated American actress.

Ehlers grew up in New York City and begin appearing in television commercials at the age of nine. As a child actress, her first role was in the 1981 television movie Family Reunion starring Bette Davis. She was cast in several other TV movies, including "In Defense of Kids" and "Mystery at Fire Island". Her big screen debut was in the movie The Hunger with David Bowie. She was also featured in the feature film Hiding Out and the TV series The Best which was in the vein of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
To date, Ehlers' role of note has been her portrayal of Harley Cooper on Guiding Light, a role she originally played from 1987 to 1993. The character of Harley was a bad girl with a heart of gold — the character was introduced giving birth to her illegitimate daughter in the back seat of a car — and Ehlers' portrayal won her praise and many fans, eventually making the character of Harley a linchpin character.
Ehlers left the show in 1993, along with co-star Mark Derwin, to relocate to California. After her relationship with Derwin ended, Ehlers worked as a production assistant on commercials and music videos. She was featured in the 60th anniversary show for Guiding Light in January 1997. Fan response was so overwhelmingly positive that the producers asked Ehlers to return as a contract player. During her time on "GL", she was nominated five times for a Daytime Emmy (for Outstanding Younger Actress, in 1992 and 1993; Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, in 1999 and 2002; and, in 2006, for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series). She was the first daytime actress to ever be nominated in all three categories.
In 2005, fans voted Ehlers and former co-star, Ricky Paull Goldin, as their characters Harley and Gus, the top couple in "The Most Irresistible Combination" contest (which was partially sponsored by Procter & Gamble, the company that produces Guiding Light).
In 2006, Ehlers became part of a collaboration between the show and Marvel Comics when her character was tagged to appear on a special fantasy episode of the show as a superheroine, named "The Guiding Light" after the show itself.
In 2007, in an episode celebrating the 70th anniversary of Guiding Light, the current cast portrayed actors and behind-the-scenes personnel from the early years of the series (both in radio and television). Ehlers had a central role in the episode with her portrayal of Irna Phillips. Phillips was the creator of Guiding Light and many other soap operas; she was often credited with creating the soap opera genre.
In June 2008, Ehlers left Guiding Light to join the cast of All My Children in the newly-created role of Taylor Thompson, an Army lieutenant of the Iraqi war who believed she had lost her fiance, Brot Monroe (portrayed by real-life war veteran and now actor/spokesman J.R. Martinez), in action. The move from Guiding Light to All My Children led her to being infamously reunited onscreen with her former Guiding Light co-star Ricky Paull Goldin, who portrays Dr. Joseph "Jake" Martin.
In 2010 Ehlers joined the cast of River Ridge: The Series in the role of Coryn Foster.
