Louise Sorel

Louise Sorel was bitten by the acting bug while attending Hollywood High School, thanks to an enthusiastic drama teacher by the name of John Ingle (ex-Edward, General Hospital). She is well known to daytime fans for her portrayals of Augusta Lockridge on Santa Barbara (1984-91) and the outrageous villainess Vivian Alamain on Days of Our Lives, who she began playing in 1992. For her work as Vivian, Sorel received five Soap Opera Digest Awards in various categories. She has also appeared on One Life to Live, All My Children, Passions and Port Charles.
