Sam McCall Morgan on General Hospital
Gender:
Female
Born:
5-23-1976
Birthplace:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Birth Name:
Kelly Marie Monaco
Kelly Monaco is the third of five sisters raised in a traditional Italian Catholic home.

Shortly before her teenage years, Kelly's family decided to move from the urban environment of Philadelphia to the more serene surroundings of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains.

Growing up in the Poconos, Kelly developed a love of the great outdoors. With a home on the boundary of a state game preserve, Kelly and her four sisters spent plenty of time hiking, climbing trees, fishing, camping and swimming. They were taught to skate by their mother, a former Olympic hopeful and



… More figure-skating instructor. They helped their father, an avid hunter, build tree stands.

An active athlete, Kelly participated in soccer, swimming, track, and softball, among other sports.

In addition to athletics, Kelly participated intensely in speech, debate, and theater during high school. Kelly proudly states that she is a born competitor.

Kelly attended classes at Northampton Community College. Kelly worked at a resort, Mount Airy Lodge, as a lifeguard.

Kelly's way out of the Poconos turned out to be a spread in Playboy magazine, a decision that her family was extremely supportive of. Shortly before her 21st birthday, Kelly made her Playboy debut as the magazine's Miss April 1997, and she went on to be featured in many of their news stand specials.

With four years of high school drama classes and five years of lifeguarding behind her, Kelly's television debut came in 1997, when she landed the recurring role of Susan, a rookie lifeguard, on the syndicated program Baywatch. After 12 episodes of Baywatch, Kelly appeared in the feature films, BASEketball, Idle Hands, Late Last Night, Mumford, and Welcome to Hollywood.

During the summer of 2000, Kelly got the character of Livvie Locke on ABC's Port Charles.

Kelly is very close with her family. She enjoyed an especially close relationship with her great-grandmother, Beatrice Mervine On Wednesday July 7th, 2004, Kelly's beloved great-grandmother passed away, three days before her 95th birthday. Kelly adored her great-grandmother and spoke lovingly of her in several interviews throughout her career. Her great-grandmother is even quoted in the article accompanying Kelly's Playmate Of The Month pictorial in the April 1997 issue of Playboy.

When Port Charles aired its final episode on October 3rd, 2003, Kelly had already secured a role on ABC's General Hospital, where she has portrayed Samantha McCall since October 1st, 2003. That's right: Kelly began airing on GH two days before PC's last story arc, The Gift came to an end!

Kelly was invited to take part in the 6th annual Super Soap Weekend at the Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida the weekend of November 3rd & 4th, 2001. One reason Kelly was happy to attend was that several of her family members, including her parents, one of her sisters, and her nephew, joined her at the theme park.

Kelly enjoys volunteering for children's charity events, as well as working with elders. She is a little lady with a very big heart.

Kelly spends her free time training for triathlons, and she is a member of the Playboy X-Treme Team, which participates in the nationwide Hi-Tec Adventure Race series.

Just as she did when she lived in the Poconos, Kelly still takes time out to go camping.

Currently residing in West Hollywood, California, the beautiful and talented Kelly Monaco continues to live out her lifelong dream to succeed in the land of make believe.

    kelly monaco from general hospital is the worst and over-hyped actress in daytime history.kelly monaco can't act and she tries to remember her lines by waving her hands around like she has a mental problem.she is not that great looking with fake b00bs and hide show

    a source said that kelly monaco was at night club plenty all the time at different nights and she ran into a couple of people and call them n-iggers.because kelly monaco is not that famous an alster if you will,it won't be reported because no one cares about this hack.kelly monaco is not that great looking and her personality stinks.when she is trying to remeber her lines its hard to watch and its annoying.guza and frons won't fire her because they like her fake b00bs to let her go.she is ruing geral hospital for all the people who watch itwas it.

    I found her in the pages of Playboy! hide show

    I first found Kelly Monaco in the pages of Playboy Magazine, she was beautiful back then and she still is today. I haven't saw "Dancing with the Stars" except in clips, but seeing her on the dance floor is wonderful. Can can pose nude for Plkayboy, and I still got that issue and appear in soap operas, but she can dance the night away on :"Dancing with the Stars." she's one of a kind. I'm madly in love with her. She's gorgeous and sexy. She's one of my favoirte playmates. Kelly Monaco does a lot more than pose nude. She gets an 10.

    Beautiful and graceful and would have given her a ten but... hide show

    I really liked her despite not liking soap operas as
    She really danced very good. Don't know why she ain't
    Gettting great offers after Dancing with the Stars first season last year.
    But I guess she loves the soap too much to leave.
    Really would had given her a ten had she not acted like a sore loser in the dance face off rematch.
