Heather Tom landed the role of Victoria Newman on The Young and the Restless in 1990. Tom stayed with Y&R until 2003 (though she was off for six months in 1997). In 2003, Tom opted to leave Y&R when the show wanted her to take a pay cut and Tom was offered the role of Kelly Cramer on One Life to Live. Tom was immediately thrown into story line with both OLTL and All My Children involving the baby switch of Bianca and Babe's babies. After three years with OLTL, Tom departed the show and returned to the west coast. In 2007, Tom joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful as Katie Logan. In 2012, Tom became the first perfomer to win an Emmy in all three acting categories. Tom began directing episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful in 2016.
