Love, Fame and Beauty: Sheila (Kimberlynn Brown) was inspired by this cinematic psychopath

In 1990, Kimberlynn Brown first appeared as Sheila Carter in The Young and the Restless (which changes her 50th birthday). After many fights and Machiavellian moves, the protagonist moves from Genoa City to Los Angeles in Love, Fame and Beauty (which stars a Marvel superhero).

Sheila Carter, iconic character

Thirty years later, the series’ fan-favorite psychopath continues to haunt the Forresters and Logan. What’s more, in episodes of the series currently airing on TF1 (Monday to Friday at 10.30am), Sheila killed Finn (Tanner Nowlan), her son, and then shot Stef (Jacqueline McInnes Wood)!

An iconic figure in the world created by William J. By Bell and Lee Philip Bell, Sheila is actually inspired by the iconic and terrifying character from The 7th Art! As her translator told us during the interview, the one who was once a nurse is therefore based on another nurse who is as crazy as she is dangerous…

Kimberlynn Brown inspired by Kathy Bates

Kimberlynn Brown recalled the day she auditioned for the role of Sheila, right before she was cast in The Young and the Restless (where Tricia Cast (Nina) will soon return):The executive producer at the time said to me while I was in the waiting room, “I wish you were like Kathy Bates in the movie trouble !’”

As a reminder for the less film-loving among us, Mizer tells the story of a novelist who accidentally finds himself the prisoner of a retired nurse, obsessed with his cause and… utterly disturbed!

The actor continued to AlloCiné:This feature is one of my favorites, Kathy Bates performance is amazing! To have a producer who gives you the freedom to play these types of characters in a daily series is incredible! That’s how I played Sheila in the casting and that’s how she came down.“For better and for worse!
