Krista Allen Looked Back At Her Road To B&B, With A Memorable Stop in Salem, On Digest's Podcast, Dishing With Digest
Be Our Guest

Soap Opera Digest: Let's start with how you got interested in the idea of a showbiz career.

Krista Allen: I didn't come to Los Angeles to be an actress.... I had left Texas and I was just in an adventure mode and I came out to Los Angeles and things just started happening. I met a manager, and that led to my very first job, which was THE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL. My first job ever was Shelley in Bikini Bar, and I was such an incredible actress already that I kept looking directly into the camera. I didn't know what a mark was. I didn't know any of this stuff. So, it was a recurring role that ended up lasting maybe two episodes and that was it.... And then that kind of prompted me. Because I had gotten that, other things started coming up.

Digest: Was acting something that you fell in love with once you kind of fell into it?

Allen: It's an interesting thing. I never knew this but I'm an introvert. Fully. And social anxiety, or just not feeling like I'm fitting in, was always a big thing for me. And one of the hardest things for me ... when I was able to jump into a character, it's, like, I was okay.... I don't even know how to describe that but it was a really cool thing. I was like, "Wow, this is really cool. I get to play these other characters and it's a lot easier for me to, you know, be present, to be around people.” It really was a thing for me.

Digest: What happened after Shelley?
