Biografia completa
"Daytime television enthusiasts will attest that a single piercing gaze from the baby blue eyes of Tonja Walker could spell your demise. Indeed, this soap opera icon has been gracing prominent daytime series since her discovery as a finalist at the Miss USA Pageant in late 1970s. Born in Huntington, West Virginia in 1960, Tonja, after becoming a local and later national pageant queen, took some advice and migrated to Los Angeles to pursue acting opportunities, which she swiftly secured. Cast alongside Matt Dillon and other emerging stars in the 1981 drama "Liar's Moon," her cinematic debut included a revealing scene where she bares all before an open window. This feat was accomplished within her first few weeks in Hollywood, a testament to her talent. She subsequently landed TV roles on shows like "Mr. Merlin," "Capitol," "Hunter," and "T.J. Hooker," but her breakthrough came as Olivia St. John on "General Hospital," a role she's inhabited since 1988. Tonja has also been a staple on other daytime soaps such as "One Life to Live," "Passions," and "Guiding Light," even earning a daytime Emmy nomination for the latter. With a career spanning four decades, it's always exciting to see her in new projects. Currently, she's lending her voice talents to video games while also working on feature films and TV series, proving that she remains as captivating as ever."
