Melina Kanakaredes Biography

Melina Kanakaredes has been winning fans since her 1991 breakout role as Greek immigrant Eleni Andros on CBS' daytime serial Guiding Light. The Ohio-born former beauty contestant spent nearly five years playing the character who moved from wide-eyed innocent to more mature wife and mother earning a Daytime Emmy nod along the way. Her talent and abilities transcended the genre and like others who began their days in daytime (e.g. Meg Ryan Marisa Tomei) it seemed only a matter of time before she would make the leap to primetime and features. Kanakaredes made her feature debut in Gregory Hines' uneven portrait of an interracial romance Bleeding Hearts and went on to small roles in The Long Kiss Goodnight Dangerous Beauty Rounders and 15 Minutes.
