She’s a legend in the daytime television community. While she’s presently portraying All My Children’s Krystal, Miss Eakes is also known to daytime fans for her years as Macy on The Bold and the Beautiful. This former beauty queen is also a talented singer with three albums to her credit. Yet, even with her hectic schedule recording and acting both on stage and screen, Bobbie Eakes finds time to give of her time and energy to the causes in which she most believes.


Aside from lending her talents annually to Broadway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS, Miss Eakes is a spokesperson for AHOPE For Children—a nonprofit organization which helps to bring comfort and assistance to the children of Ethiopia, particularly those infected with HIV. Through donating her time to raise awareness of the plight of these orphaned children, and also through her visits to Africa, Miss Eakes has offered her many talents so that an often forgotten people can look forward to a brighter future.

Talented, dedicated and compassionate, Miss Eakes personifies the spirit of a beautiful world. For all of her achievements both cultural and social, Bobbie Eakes is our “Humanitarian of the Week.”
