Sharon Case (born February 9, 1971) is an American actress and former model. At the age of 17, Case began working as a model, relocating briefly to Japan, before pursuing an acting career. She is best known for her roles on daytime television soap operas, scoring parts in the serials General Hospital and As the World Turns during the early stages of her career. In 1994, she stepped into the role of Sharon Newman on the CBS daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, which she still plays presently. Case, who is considered a leading actress for the series, won the 1999 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance which has been met with critical acclaim.

Case was born on February 9, 1971 in Detroit, Michigan. During her childhood, she was involved heavily in dancing, devoting herself to ballet and jazz. When she was three, Case relocated to Chatsworth, California.

Case is best friends with fashion stylist Elif Inanc, and is also close with on-screen co-star Melody Thomas Scott. She was married to businessman Sandy Corzine from April 2007 to November 2009, with the marriage ending in divorce.

In December 2001, Case became the first soap opera actress to be featured on the cover of FHM, a men's lifestyle magazine. This issue featured multiple other daytime television actresses. Case is active on social networking website Twitter.

Although Case's main goal was to become an actress, she turned her attention to modeling as a teenager. She stated: "I thought modeling would be a good start in the business". At the age of 17 in 1988, Case caught the eye of a scout while attending a modeling event, and was offered a modeling job in Japan. She traveled to Japan for five months, before returning to Los Angeles. She later took part in theater, garnering lead role credits in the musicals Grease, The Wizard and The Nutcracker.
