Making a seamless transition from SOAPnet’s General Hospital: Night Shift into Pine Valley Amanda Baker joined the cast of All My Children in the role of Babe Carey in October 2007. This charming belle from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina certainly knows how to make an impression. Charity must be her middle name, because she devotes a lot of her time to a variety including: Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation, The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and L.A. Works. Her performances this past March at Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS with many of her colleagues from ABC Daytime attested to her vocal talents. Her rendition of “Impossible” is a stand out from the evening. It’s only natural that she has joined POZ team’s effort for AIDS Walk New York. It’s all about sweet charity.
