Kirsten Storms : Belle Black
Kirsten Storms joined the cast of �Days of Our Lives� in 1999 as the character Belle Black, the coveted role of John Black and Marlena Evans� precocious daughter. This year, Storms won her first �Soap Opera Digest� Award for Outstanding Younger Lead Actress.
Storms has been acting since the age of 5, when she was discovered by a talent scout after a performance at an children�s acting school in Orlando, Florida. Shortly after training in New York and performing Off-Broadway, she was approached by several agents and talent scouts. Storms� first acting job was a commercial for Galoob Baby Doll. Several more commercial jobs followed for Tyco campaigns, Sea World, Mattel and Toyota. Her first series job was in ABC�s �Second Noah� as the character Hannah Beckett. She has also made appearances on the WB�s �7th Heaven�, Disney shows �Zenon, girl of the 21st Century� and "Zenon the Zequel," and �Sing me a Story With Belle.� She has also appeared on Lifetime�s �Any Day Now� and Hallmark Entertainment�s �The Trojan Horse.�
In her leisure time, Storms enjoys reading (John Grisham is her favorite author), going to the movies, and spending time with family and friends at home in Los Angeles. Storm�s birthday is April 8.
Belle Black is the child of John Black and Marlena Evans. She was brought into this world with her parents thinking she really belonged to Roman Brady, the man her mother was married to. It was soon discovered she was actually the love child of daytime supercouple John Brady and Marlena Evans. She was rapidly aged and paired with Shawn Douglas Brady, only to have Philip Kiriakis return. The sparks are flying, but who will win Belle's heart?
