She is an extremely talented singer who gave commanding performances at shows to benefit Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS and POZ's Bacharach to the Future. The woman needs a showcase of her own. She can also dance and, of course, it is well known to a myriad of fans that she can act. As a talented woman who actually takes the time to care, we know that all of this is the portent of greater things to come. When BethAnn enters a room she creates an atmosphere. Her energy and vitality take over. BethAnn has now joined the cast of Daytime Meets the Nighttime. We are blessed.

"I started singing because my mother was a singer in her church choir and every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday we were there," said Brentwood, Tennessee native Kelly King in an exclusive interview with GO Brooklyn. "From the time I could run around on my own two feet, I was always at the church and [my mother] was always singing." It wasn’t long before King herself took the mic. Before she was 3 years old, King was leading her mother’s choir in a rendition of "Silent Night." "I’ve been in bars and clubs as long as I can remember. My parents are very into music and the scene in Nashville is incredible." Unlike other showbiz kids who never left the club scene, King is all business when she’s at a venue."Maybe it’s because I was in the bar scene from such a young age that I never wanted to be like that."
Even as her career in Nashville blossomed, King was sure that her hometown was a launching pad and not the final destination. "I always wanted to be in New York, even from a very young age," she said. "I had a dance space at home and had a fake Broadway street sign [hanging on the wall] — I was always Broadway bound."

"I tried in Nashville, and they just didn’t get it...I visited New York and knew it was for me." King has made a home for herself in Brooklyn—She’s settled, along with her two dogs, Storm and Cesar, in a house in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and she couldn’t be happier. "The music history in my neighborhood is unreal," said King. "Jay-Z and Lil’ Kim are from there. The culture and vibe really drive my energy. The music that goes on in the streets makes it very artistic and beautiful, and I’m proud to be a part of it...I live for being on stage and singing," she said. Kelly King has a voice that growls and purrs like an old school blues belters with the range and glass-shattering vocal ability of the younger Mariah Carey, and, as of now, she has none of the crazy. The Imperial Court and Lifebeat are looking forward to what promises to be a memorable performance from this powerhouse singer.

Robin Kradles has been performing in the New York City region for the past 12 years. She is always ready to perform for a good cause since so rarely has anyone offered to pay her.

Friendship is probably the best human relationship available and when it happens, it is a true blessing. And friendship does that, i.e. it just happens, usually because there are individuals who know how to do it well. Loyalty pays a big part in it. Couple that quality with the heart of a journeyman actor and singer who finds true expression in work and you have Ilene Kristen.

If Ilene is not the first to step up for fundraising events she is pretty darn close. She has been the driving force for so many of POZ's sponsored fundraisers. We all know she's been around the block more than once, but she brings the enthusiasm of a neophyte to her work. It's been said before and it bears repeating: To Know Her is To Love Her. We are once again very proud to announce that this New York angel is on board with Daytime Meets Nighttime and we couldn't be happier that the unique interpreter of One Life to Live's unique Roxy will be meeting and greeting her many fans as well bringing some panache to the proceedings!

Witti Repartee has been called many things: "Hostess," "Chanteuse," "Fabulous" and "Woody." Since 1997, she has been entertaining crowds of two and three in some of the darkest, most out of the way places her agent can find. You may not remember having seen her at the Ice Palace, you may have forgotten her performances at Mother, or you may have blocked those evenings when she's dominated the piano at The Monster. Harder to forget are her years of work with the Imperial Court of New York as a performer and event producer, the year and a half she hosted "The Gayest Link" at Hannah's Lava Lounge, or her reign in 2003 as the Queen of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. Never having achieved the status of "Been," she revels in the fact that no one can claim she's a "HAS-Been," simply someone whose bookings are continually on the wrong side of the Bushel. Under it.

Soap viewers were first introduced to the dazzling Robin Strasser when she created the vixen Rachel Davis on Another World in 1967. Since then, the lively and sometimes controversial actress has become a virtual fixture in daytime.

Strasser's interest in performing was palpable at an early age. Born and raised in New York City, she graduated from the prestigious High School of Performing Arts. She then attended Yale School of Drama on a full scholarship. Upon graduation, Strasser began her foray in daytime TV and performed in plays, including The Shadow Box and Chapter Two. Her AW character was so popular that she appeared in the short-lived spin-off, Somerset, in 1970.

After leaving AW in 1972, Strasser continued to do theater, as well as movies, TV movies and prime-time guest spots. She returned to soaps in 1976 when she took on the role of All My Children's Dr. Christina Karras from 1976-79. The actress then began her longest daytime stint as One Life to Live's Dorian, which she played from 1979-87, 1993-2000 and again from 2003-present. During her first hiatus from Llanview, Strasser continued to make a name for herself in prime-time, playing Knots Landing's Dianne and starring in several movies of the week. When she left One Life to Live in 2000, however, her exit was more controversial; she felt as if she was forced out when her contract negotiations came to a head.

Still, Strasser managed to bounce back and signed on as Passions' 300-year-old witch, Hecuba, that same year. She also spent time in France and continued to work in theater and TV. When she returned to One Life to Live in February 2003, Strasser enjoyed several front-burner storylines, including Dorian's marriage to evil Mitch, a hot romance with con artist David and her character's continued rivalry with Viki. Somehow, the busy Strasser still found time to star in a production of the play The Tale of the Allergist's Wife in 2004 and also began producing videos on women's health issues in 2005.

When she's not working, Strasser does fund-raising for AIDS, is on the Advisory Board of the American Menopause Foundation and is a spokesperson for the National Osteoporosis Foundation. In her spare time, she loves yoga, cooking, collecting antiques and doting on her dogs: a Maltese, Bisou, and a mixed breed, Roc-qui.
