Bio, Age

Born on December 2, 1968, Rena Sherel Sofer is the daughter of a Conservative Jewish rabbi, Martin Sofer and a psychology professor, Susan Sofer. The American actress was born in Arcadia, California. Until the divorce of her parents, Rena and the family stayed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has a brother named David Sofer.

Explained by her Jewish decent, Rena Sofer attended a Jewish high school, Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey. She lived in North Bergen, where her father served as the rabbi of Temple Beth El. Later on, she proceeded to Montclair State College for her higher education.

While there is no much information on the aspirations and perhaps art-inclined tendencies of the young woman who would today become one of the most popular TV actresses in America, Rena was known to be shy. She tried her hands on modelling before venturing into the movie world. At the age of 15, she was discovered by talent scouts from New York. From there, she started modelling which was an indirect strategy to overcome her shyness. We can say that the plan paid off as she has made a good career in show business.

Her TV debut was in Another World, followed by Loving (1988-1991) amongst many other TV and movie projects. However, her first major role ever was in the 1993 Soap Opera General Hospital, playing the character of a band manager, Lois Marie Cerullo. She played the role for 3 years. Loving is also known to have brought her out to the limelight.

Adding to her numerous TV roles, Rena Sofer has made brief guest appearances on top-rated TV series like Melrose Place, The Chronicle, Friends, Blind Justice, Ghost Whisperer, 24, Two and a Half Men, Criminal minds, Covert affairs, NCIS amongst others.

In 2013, a brand new major role was designed for Rena in the all time hit TV series, The Bold and the Beautiful. Following the announcement of her joining the CBS soap opera, Rena aired her first episode as Quinn Fuller in the TV series which runs to date.

Their daughter Rosabel was born on 17 September 1996. The estranged couple has maintained a good parenting relationship for their daughter’s sake.
