Mia Korf (born November 1, 1966) is an American actress best known for originating the role of Blair Daimler Buchanan in One Life to Live .
Born on November 1, 1966, [1] [2] in Ithaca, New York, [1] Korf is the daughter of mycologist Richard P. Korf and Kumiko ("Kumi"), née Tachibana, a fine artist specializing in printmaking. [3] [4] She attended Ithaca High School and Cornell University, [2] as well as Juilliard School of Music. [1] As for how and when Korf first became interested in acting, despite her entry in 1992's The Soap Opera Book: Who's Who in Daytime Drama, which specifically credits Cornell as the birthplace of her "early affinity for stage work," [1] it is evident that such affinity had developed as least as early as March 1982 (during her junior year at Ithaca High [2] ), as witnessed by Ithaca Journal coverage of IHS productions of West Side Story and the 1945 Broadway hit, Dark of the Moon . [5] [6]
Korf began her career in television in 1990 on the NBC series The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd and the soap opera Loving . The following year, she was cast as the original Blair Cramer on the ABC daytime drama, One Life to Live . The character of Blair had many characteristics in common with Korf, including details about her birthplace, horoscope sign (Scorpio) and hobbies. [7] In early 1993, she left the series to appear in the Broadway stage play Face Value , a farcical musical partly based on the controversies of the broadway musical Miss Saigon , but the play closed after six days of previews and never officially opened. [8]
She has since continued to appear in numerous prime-time television series, including: Players, [9] Party of Five, Danny , [10] Becker, NYPD Blue, Chicago Hope, Nip/Tuck, The Agency , North Shore , Hawaii , Crossing Jordan, Strong Medicine , Cold Case , and most recently Eli Stone . She has also appeared in the feature films Blood Brothers and Jerry Maguire . Korf voiced Theresa Cook in W.I.T.C.H. , in D is for Dangerous, K is for Knowledge and P is for Protectors.
