Mia Korf (born November 1, 1965)[citation needed] is an American actress best known for originating the role of Blair Daimler Buchanan in One Life to Live.

Early life and education[edit]

Korf is the daughter of mycologist Richard P. Korf and Kumiko ("Kumi"), née Tachibana, a fine artist specializing in printmaking.[1][2] Korf grew up in Ithaca, New York and attended Cornell University, where she lived in Risley Residential College.[citation needed]

Career[edit]

Korf began her career in television in 1990 on the NBC series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd and the soap opera Loving. The following year, she was cast as the original Blair Cramer on the ABC daytime drama, One Life to Live. The character of Blair had many characteristics in common with Korf, including details about her birthplace, horoscope sign (Scorpio) and hobbies.[3] In early 1993, she left the series to appear in the Broadway stage play Face Value, a farcical musical partly based on the controversies of the broadway musical Miss Saigon, but the play closed after six days of previews and never officially opened.[4]

She has since continued to appear in numerous prime-time television series, including: Players,[5] Party of Five, Danny,[6] Becker, NYPD Blue, Chicago Hope, Nip/Tuck, The Agency, North Shore, Hawaii, Crossing Jordan, Strong Medicine, Cold Case, and most recently Eli Stone. She has also appeared in the feature films Blood Brothers and Jerry Maguire. Korf voiced Theresa Cook in W.I.T.C.H., in D is for Dangerous, K is for Knowledge and P is for Protectors.

Personal life[edit]

Korf was married to actor Jeffrey Lebeau. She lives in Los Angeles, California.[citation needed]
