Born on 16 November 1958 in the city of Fremont in Nebraska, USA, Marg Helgenberg was born into a regular middle class family. Raised in Nebraska, Helgenberg spent her childhood dreaming of following in her mother Mary’s footsteps in becoming a nurse – it was not until her college years that Marg Helgenberg changed her mind about her future career, quite possibly the best decision of her life. First appearing on television as a weather person, Helgenberg initially seemed more interested in drama and theatre than television work – Marg’s first parts as an actress were in university plays. It was during the production of one such play that the future television star was first noticed by an agent working with the team behind the ABC soap opera “Ryan’s Hope”, and he approached Helgenberg with a proposal to join the cast. Upon receiving her speech and drama degree, Marg Helgenberg agreed, making her television acting debut in 1982. Helgenberg’s career looked set to take off from there, and after she left “Ryan’s Hope” in 1986, several new opportunities soon presented themselves.

By 1988, Helgenberg had taken a regular role in the new ABC series “China Beach”, and her outstanding performance as Karen Charlene Koloski won her an Emmy in 1990.

All these successes have had a great effect on Helgenberg’s net worth – the actress has been listed as the third best-paid female entertainer on primetime television (ranked after Tyra Banks and Katherine Heigl).
