Timeline

1981

Eden Sonja Jane Riegel (born January 1, 1981) is an American actress.

She portrayed Bianca Montgomery in the daytime drama All My Children, and propelled the character into a gay icon, as well as a popular figure within the medium.

Born to Kurt and Lenore Riegel on New Year's Day 1981 in Washington, D.C., Riegel was raised in a Virginia suburb and became interested in acting while watching her brother, Sam, perform dinner theater, which she later joined in for $10 a week.

Her big break came when she won the role of Cosette in Les Misérables, leading to other roles on and off-Broadway.

She graduated from the Professional Children's School and attended Harvard University, with ambitions to become a lawyer, but later left the institution.

2000

In 2000, she served as an intern at the White House for the summer.

From July 2000 to February 2005, Riegel portrayed the role of Bianca Montgomery on the American ABC soap opera All My Children.

In December 2000, Riegel's character "comes out" to her mother, Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), becoming the only lesbian on a daytime soap opera at that time.

2001

Riegel was nominated for three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series (2001, 2002, 2004) before finally winning the award in 2005.

She won two Soap Opera Digest Awards in 2001 for Outstanding Female Newcomer, and in 2005 for Outstanding Younger Lead Actress.

2003

In 2003, the kiss between Bianca and character Lena Kundera (Olga Sosnovska) made history when it became the first lesbian kiss to appear on American daytime television.

2004

During the 2004-2005 baby switch storyline, when Bianca's daughter is kidnapped and switched with the son of Babe Carey Chandler (Alexa Havins), Riegel also portrayed Bianca on fellow ABC soap opera One Life to Live.

Riegel's character was awarded the first Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation award for "Favorite OUT Image of the Year" in 2004.

Lesbianation.com, self-proclaimed as the leading online community for lesbians, voted Eden Riegel as Number 7 on their top ten list of Women We Love: The Ladies of June '06, stating, "We were swamped with requests to add All My Children hottie Eden Riegel to our list this month — and here she is!"

2005

Nominated previously on multiple occasions, she received a Daytime Emmy Award for the role in 2005.

In addition to her work on All My Children, Riegel has guest starred in several prime time shows, as well as film, and starred as character "Eden" in the web series Imaginary Bitches.

In 2005, with Lena out of the picture, Bianca shares a kiss with close friend and confidante Maggie Stone (Elizabeth Hendrickson), making TV Guide's list of best same-sex kisses on television.

Later that year, Riegel, along with best friend and co-star Elizabeth Hendrickson, exited All My Children, with their last show airing on February 24, 2005.

Riegel then moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue other acting ventures.

She made a brief return to the soap opera when her television mother (Erica) marries in May 2005, and returned for an extended stay from December 16, 2005, to January 10, 2006.

Bianca's daughter, Miranda, was aged accordingly.

2006

Riegel returned again for a short visit from May 24, 2006, until mid-June, in a storyline connected with Bianca's sister Kendall's (Alicia Minshew) pregnancy and coma.

In August 2006, Riegel's return to All My Children as a contract player was announced.

The actress taped her first scenes on September 12, which first aired on October 11.

Riegel commuted back and forth between her home and family in Los Angeles and New York, where All My Children tapes.

2007

In 2007, she parted ways with the show once again, but reappeared in the episode dated August 14, 2007, when Bianca phones in to check on Kendall from Paris, and in December for a Christmas visit.

2008

In 2008, Riegel agreed to return to All My Children with Tamara Braun.

Braun came on as Reese Williams, Bianca's new lover/girlfriend and later wife.

Bianca first aired on October 17, 2008.

Reese followed on October 30, 2008.

Riegel's return was partly to minimize the effect of Alicia Minshew's absence on the show while Minshew took a two-month hiatus to get married.

Reese and Bianca's union made history when it resulted in the first legal same-sex marriage in American daytime television.

2009

Riegel left the show again in February 2009, but also confirmed in an interview with Soap Opera Digest that she would be returning in spring 2009 to conclude the Reese and Bianca story.

2010

She assumed the role of Heather Stevens on The Young and the Restless from April 2010 to November 2011.

Riegel is also a prolific voice actress, providing the voices for many video games and animated projects.

She is the voice director for Disney's animated TV series Amphibia, The Owl House, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Hailey's On It!, and Kiff (alongside her brother Sam Riegel)

In 2010, Riegel returned for a short-term stint for All My Children's 40th anniversary.

The character had been cited as too iconic to recast, but in 2010, Riegel decided to permanently exit the role, and plans to recast were subsequently confirmed.

2013

However, on February 22, 2013, it was announced that Riegel will be reprising her role as Bianca in guest-arc on the Prospect Park's continuation of All My Children.

Prior to joining All My Children, Riegel had a small role on the daytime drama As the World Turns as an AIDS patient, appeared in Law & Order and portrayed a minor character in the feature film American Pie.
