Soap Star Rachel Melvin Wins Big In Bingo and In Acting

rachel.jpg

Rachel Melvin plays Chelsea Brady on NBC's soap opera Days of Our Lives.

This Illinois-born actress grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She told CW11 Emily Frances that she got into acting on a whim.

"I went and played bingo with my grandma and my mom and I won a $600 jackpot, which is the exact amount I was looking for the cost of the acting classes in LA that I was looking at," Melvin said, "And so I took that as a sign to just move out there and try my luck."

Lucky, indeed! Soon after her big move, she landed the role of Chelsea on Day of Our Lives, which she has held since 2005. Now she's recognized as one of the bad girls in Salem. In her current storyline, Chelsea is dating a man who is old enough to be her father.
