Amelia Heinle Luckinbill, (formerly Weatherly,[1] born March 17,[2] 1973) is an American actress best known for
her roles in American soap operas.
Early life
Amelia March Heinle was born in Casa Grande, Arizona and has four younger siblings. She grew up in Arizona
and moved to New Jersey with her family when she was 15 years old.[2]
Career
From 1993-1995 she played the role of Stephanie "Steffi" Brewster on the soap opera Loving. She also played the
character for two months in that show's short-lived spin off The City from November 1995 until January 1996. In
1994 she was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Female Newcomer".
Through the 1990s she appeared in many made for TV movies, as well as a starring role in the 1999 Steven
Soderbergh film, The Limey, as Peter Fonda's girlfriend. She appeared in the music video for "I Will Buy You a New
Life" by Everclear.
In 2001 she returned to the world of daytime television, this time in the role of Mia Saunders on All My Children, the
heretofore unknown half-sister of Liza Colby (Marcy Walker). Although she started as a front-burner character, her
romantic pairing with Jake Martin (J. Eddie Peck) didn't work out because of the actor's exit from the show, and so
Mia was limited to being a background character. In 2004, Heinle opted not to renew her contract with All My
Children and left the show.
On March 21, 2005, Heinle joined the cast of the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, as Victoria Newman,
replacing the popular Heather Tom in the role.
In April 2009 Heinle appeared in season 4, episode 20, of Ghost Whisperer, entitled "Stage Fright," with husband
Thad Luckinbill and fellow daytime drama actress Lesli Kay.

swift-paced change, to understand the ethical imperatives of living in such a world, and to take their places as
responsible actors in communities, civil societies, and countries around the globe.

prior to graduation.[5] The university has approximately one thousand students, representing over one hundred

of topics. Past lecturers at AUP have included Jane Goodall, J.M. Coetzee, National Geographic photojournalist
Reza, and Calvin Klein. Additionally, the university has hosted many international conferences, inviting an
aggregate of over a thousand scholars, including Gary Becker, Nobel Prize-recipient of Economics in 1992 and
