Reva Shayne is a fictional character on the long-running CBS daytime soap opera Guiding Light played by four-time Daytime Emmy Award winner Kim Zimmer from November 28, 1983 to July 1990 and April 14, 1995 until the show's final episode on September 18, 2009. Zimmer has become such a celebrated performer that she is often considered to be an "icon" in the daytime drama industry.
Kim Zimmer is often regarded as one of the most popular performers ever to appear on CBS' Guiding Light and on all of daytime television. Zimmer has been with the show from 1983-1990 and 1995 until its final episode of 2009, spanning 21 years of storyline for the character. Zimmer's career in daytime soaps outside of her most notable role include Bonnie Harmon on ABC's One Life to Live in 1978, Nola Dancy Aldrich on NBC's The Doctors from 1979-1982 when she took over for her eventual Body Heat co-star Kathleen Turner and Jodie DeWitt Walker on Santa Barbara from 1992-1993. In 1983, Zimmer returned to OLTL as new character Echo DiSavoy but left several months later. She returned in October 2010 after a 27-year absence and remained with the show until the following year. The actress recalled being in conversations to join other soaps when OLTL's executive producer Frank Valentini unexpectedly asked her to return. Zimmer also appeared ABC's MacGyver, FOX's Models Inc. and on NBC's Seinfeld in the 1995 episode "The Diplomat's Club". Zimmer's character was celebrated and immortalized in the release of "The Reva Shayne Collection" DVD set by Soap Classics in 2012, which included episodes such as "Reva’s debut on November 28, 1983, the infamous "Slut of Springfield" fountain episode from July 31, 1984, Reva’s presumed death in 1990, "Like Mother, Like Son" from November 17, 2004 (Reva and Jonathan’s dip in the fountain) and "Reva and Josh 4-Ever", a special episode on the day of Josh and Reva's divorce on April 12, 2006." Zimmer has won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series four times in 1985, 1987, 1990 and 2006 and has been nominated eleven times in the same category.
