The 411
Born and raised in Lexington, Ky., Farah Fath began modeling at the age of 5, and at the age of 9 tried her hand at acting. In 1995, Fath was named Miss Kentucky Pre-Teen. In 1999, she auditioned for the recurring role of Mimi on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Mimi was meant to be Belle's sidekick, but less than a year later, Fath was offered a contract. In 2007, after eight years on the show, Fath left DAYS to seek out other acting opportunities. Months later, it was rumored that Fath would be appearing on ONE LIFE TO LIVE as the new Sarah Roberts, but the actress quashed that rumor by announcing that yes, she would be on OLTL, but as a new character. Due to show locations, Fath was forced to move cross-country and currently lives in New York with her younger sister.

Memorable Quotes
"People thought I was crazy in Kentucky when I was 13 and talking about becoming a famous actress. I'm confident that I can do whatever I want to do. I could see myself winning an Oscar, I could totally see that. But first, I have to win an Emmy."

"Growing up on TV, going through puberty? I don't know if I'll ever really grasp how weird it's been."

"Gigi is basically a little spitfire. She's kind of similar to Mimi, my DAYS character, but there's a different level. I'm going to make sure I make different choices. I don't want everyone to watch and be like, 'Oh, there's Mimi.' You know, I want everyone to change the M's to G's (laughs)." — 10/30/07, Digest
"He's (John-Paul Lavoisier, Rex) hard not to have chemistry with. He's fun and brings out a fun side in me. Every character I work with brings out a different side. With John McBain, Gigi was very adultlike. With Viki she has a mother-daughter relationship. With Rex, it's feisty, sassy, funny and cute. I really love working with J-P."

You Should Hear What People Say About You!
"We're the peas and carrots of DAYS OF OUR LIVES because [as] Farah pointed out, 'Peas and carrots go together so well, and we're like attached at the hip.' So we decided, she's the peas and I'm the carrots."
— Kirsten Storms (ex-Belle, DAYS; now Maxie, GENERAL HOSPITAL), 5/01/01, Digest
