Kelly Maria Ripa (born October 2, 1970) is an American actress, talk show host, and television producer. Ripa, who played Hayley Vaughan on the television soap opera All My Children from 1990–2002, is best known as host of the popular syndicated morning talk show Live! with Kelly. Additionally, Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos own a New York based production company, Milojo.
In 2012, The Hollywood Reporter named her one of the Most Powerful People in Media.
Ripa was born in Stratford, New Jersey, the daughter of Esther, a homemaker, and Joseph Ripa, a labor-union president and bus driver. She has a younger sister, Linda, who is a children's book author. She is of Italian and Irish descent. Her father has been the Democratic County Clerk for Camden County, New Jersey since June 2009. She is the first in her family to enter the acting profession. She has studied ballet since age three, plays the piano, and, in her words, is "no Barbra Streisand," but can carry a tune.
Ripa graduated from Eastern High School in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, where she became a cheerleader and was later encouraged by her drama teacher to pursue acting. "I owe so much of my career to Jim Beckley," she said. "He thought I was a natural performer and so he gave me the lead in the next show." She starred in local theatre productions and was discovered while performing in the comedy play The Ugly Duckling (c. 1941), by A.A. Milne, during her senior year. She attended Camden County College studying psychology, but dropped out and moved to New York City to be an actress.
she was daddy's girl
the little princess of his world
she was his pride and joy
just a decoy
she was a bit confused
wondered then if she'd been used
as a grown-up's living toy
he was so proud of this little girl
but no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
and all he put her trough
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
she is no one girl
so lonely in this world
she has no joy, she's lost her pride
she walks alone
she's so confused
it's living hell knowing she's abused
no one hears the tears she cries
tell me why
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
he was so proud of his little girl
no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
that no one should go through
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
ooooh, all of her life she's been hiding
oooooh, all of her feelings
are locked up inside
snd her nightmares'll live on through
in everything she'll do
she's a wounded angel that never
