Career

Despite her recurring status as Lauren on The Young and the Restless, she continues to be featured prominently in storylines, namely in the 2005-2006 storyline involving the return of her character's arch nemesis, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Lauren has been married to lawyer Michael Baldwin, portrayed by Christian LeBlanc, since December 9, 2005. Her previous marriages and relationships include detective Paul Williams, rock star Danny Romalatti, Dr. Scott Grainger, Brad Carlton, Ridge Forrester, and Eric Forrester. Lauren has one son, Scotty Grainger Jr., with Dr. Scott Grainger who is now deceased. Although Scotty was born on screen in 1992, when he reappeared in Genoa City in 2006, he was aged to be 24 years of age - a grad student currently working on his masters in Education. The aging of Scotty appeared to be quite unrealistic as the character of Lauren is only about 40 or so, which is likely why he left the canvas of Genoa City shortly after his return. Lauren recently gave birth to a second child, Fenmore Michael Baldwin (aka "Fen"). He too was kidnapped by Sheila in February 2007, but has since been returned to his parents safe and sound.

Lauren Fenmore's parents are Neil Fenmore, played by Jim Storm, and Joanna Manning, portrayed by Susan Seaforth Hayes, best known for her role as Julie on Days of our Lives. She is the CEO of her late father's international chain of department stores, "Fenmore's" which is largely how she acquired her wealth. For a complete history of her character, please see the character's history page.

In light of her character's newfound romance with Christian LeBlanc's character Michael, Bregman's recognition has increased immensely due to the couple's popularity.

Prior to The Young and the Restless, Bregman also appeared on the soap opera Days of our Lives between the years of 1978 - 1980, portraying troubled teen Donna Temple Craig.

As of April 2010, Bregman took on the role of Sheila Carter's sister Sarah, who is in fact a double for her character Lauren.

She also appeared along side Y&R co-star Christian LeBlanc in the video for I Keep On Loving You by Reba McEntire in 2010.

She was the first actress to be awarded the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series (then known as the "Outstanding Ingenue in a Drama Series") when it was introduced in 1985 and has been Nominated four times for the Daytime Emmy including 2006 and 2008 for Outstanding Supporting Actress.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.
    Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

    They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)

    He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
