Bobbie Eakes

She is the youngest of five daughters in an Air Force family.
Eakes was Miss Georgia 1982, placing among the top 10 at Miss America 1983. She studied at the University of Georgia. In 1992 she married novelist and actor David Steen on July 4. She has no children. Her sisters are Susan, Sharon, Shelly, and Sandra. Eakes shares a birthday with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful).
Eakes received bit roles on nighttime television series, such as Cheers, before becoming successful in the soap opera genre. In the mid-1980s, she was the lead singer of the dance-pop rock group Big Trouble. The group released one self-titled CD in 1987, which was produced by Giorgio Moroder. Their single "Crazy World" charted on the U.S. singles chart, reaching No. 71. As a result, Big Trouble became short-lived one-hit wonders.
