Julie Pinson
Julie Pinson (born
November 7 1967 in
Fremont, California) is an
American actress.
Pinson is best known for her role as Dr. Eve Lambert Collins Thornhart on the
soap opera Port Charles, a role she played from the show's inception in
1997 until her character was killed off in
2002. In
2004, she was given the part of record producer Shiloh on
The Young and the Restless, a role which lasted for four months.
She is not to be confused with actress
Lisa Rinna, with whom she shares an uncanny resemblance. In fact, when the producers of
Days of Our Lives were looking to bring back the character of Billie Reed (a role Rinna had originated) in
2002, the casting directors were quoted as saying that Pinson was their second choice for the role, had Rinna decided to turn it down. In
2004, Pinson debuted on the show in the role of Billie, when Rinna declined to return for a third time.
