Judi Evans (also credited as Judi Evans Luciano, born July 12, 1964) is an American actress,. She played Beth Raines on the CBS series'' Guiding Light'' from (1983–1986), but is best known for playing Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis a role she originated in 1986 on NBC's ''Days of Our Lives''. She was a regular cast member from 1986 until 1991, then returned in 2003 to play Bonnie Lockhart, another role she originated and played until early 2007. Later in 2007, she returned to ''Days of Our Lives'' to reprise the role of Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis which she has played on a recurring basis since then. ==Private life and weight loss== Evans was born in Montebello, California. Evans married Michael Luciano, her second husband, on November 20, 1993. Their son, Austin Luciano, was born on May 26, 1996. Her pregnancy, in which she gained 80 pounds, and subsequent lack of weight loss, was highly publicized in the media. With Evans' input, her life experience led to a storyline on ''Another World'' in which her character, Paulina, became addicted to crystal meth to lose her pregnancy weight. Evans later spoke out against the storyline; while it was her idea to do a special-interest storyline that viewers could relate to, she was not happy with the "crystal meth" twist in the story. In the August 17, 2004 issue of ''Soap Opera Digest'', Evans delved into her weight-gain story. She wore a size 4 dress before she was pregnant with her child, and then, at her peak six months after she gave birth, she wore a size 18 dress. All in all, Evans said, she gained over 80 pounds (36 kg) in her pregnancy, and didn't lose any of it quickly. It took two years for her to lose half of the pregnancy weight she gained, and it was only in 2003 that she got down to a weight reminiscent of her life pre-pregnancy. Due to her weight troubles, she had indicated that she was very reluctant to have another baby. Evans is currently an actress on Days of Our Lives'', playing the role of Adrienne Kiriakis, on a recurring status. She now also plays Prissy Kincaide on The Grove: The Series co starring with and created by Former Days costar Crystal Chappell 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Judi Evans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
