Farah
Fath
as Mimi Lockhart |
 |
Farah Fath portrays Mimi Lockhart, an insecure
teen on Days of our Lives.
Born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1984, Fath grew up with stars in her eyes. I loved being
in the spotlight ever since I can remember, recounts the energetic teen. Farah began her show business career as a child model
at the tender age of five. When she was eight years old, Farah traveled to Los Angeles to participate in an International
Model and Talent Convention. The young beauty began competing in pageants at eleven years of age and was crowned Miss Kentucky
Pre-Teen in 1995. Farah was a National speech Winner in several pageants.
Fath juggled modeling assignments, commercials,
and pageant competitions with academics, but still found time to be a cheerleader in junior high. Farahs life changed forever
in January of 1999 when she returned to Los Angeles to attend another International Model and Talent Convention; she walked
away with a few awards and an agent. Reluctantly, Fath returned to Kentucky to finish her freshman year of high school, knowing
that she would return to Los Angeles with her mother that summer to make the audition rounds. In July of 1999, Farahs agent
called with the news that she booked an audition with Days of our Lives. Farah landed the role of Mimi on her very first audition
in Hollywood.
When she isnt working or spending endless hours in the Days of our Lives school room, Farah enjoys shopping,
hanging out with her new LA friends, and attending church regularly. Farahs prized possession is her Cockapoo named Ziggy,
who is half cockerspaniel and half Toy Poodle. She unwinds listening to her favorite band, Hanson, and watching her favorite
show, Friends, starring her favorite actress, Lisa Kudrow.
Farah celebrates her birthday on May 1st.

stolen embryo that was implanted into the womb of his mothers archenemy. With his father recently released from a nursing

a gambling addiction to deal with this winter on NBC Televisions number one daytime drama, Days of Our Lives.
