Christie Clark got her start as an actress at the age of nine, when she performed in an elementary school talent show. Clark knew that performing was her call in life, and jumped in feet first. She got an agent, and appeared in a Mattel commercial and followed that with a commercial for "Shera: Princess of Power" in 1983. Clark began her run on Days of our Lives in 1986 as Carrie Brady. She appeared on the show until the producers decided that they wanted the character of Carrie to mature. Clark left in December of 1990 and then she graduated from high school, which was an accomplishment because she had been home-schooled for three years. Clark returned to Days in November of 1992. She was more mature, and even more beautiful. She moved the innocent Carrie Brady onto a new level as a glamorous and beautiful businesswoman. Clark however sees some differences between her character and her own personality. She says, "I'm a very giving person with my family and close friends the same as 'Carrie', but Christie is much more wild than 'Carrie'." Clark keeps herself relaxed by taking time out to kick-box as well as snowboard on on the slopes of California's mountains. When Clark first started snowboarding, she could not find any fashionable clothes for women. She decided to create a line called Monkeywench, which is "one of the first companies to design snowboarding clothes just for women," Clark says. Through the years, the line has expanded into not only snowboarding clothes, but shorts, sundresses, t-shirts, and skirts. Unfortunately, the clothing company has ended. Clark was recently married in England to businessman, Thomas Barnes. They were married on 31 August 2002. They are currently living in California.
