Starting the show as a multi-talented, seasoned actress, Lang stepped into the role more than prepared.

Born to Judy Lang and Keith Wegeman, Katherine Kelly Lang came from a family of accomplished overachievers.

While attending Beverly Hills High School, Lang followed in her father’s footsteps and focused on athletics.

After school, she trained to be an Olympic equestrian while treating acting as more of a hobby.

However, in 1979 she was cast alongside Patrick Swayze in her first movie, “Skatetown.”

Soon after, Lang had a Hollywood agent representing her.

However, this is just one of the many plates the actress has spinning.

In addition, Lang hasn’t let go of her competitive spirit.

Still an equestrian at heart, Lang owns a handful of horses she enjoys riding.

According to herInstagram, Lang has also introduced her four-year-old granddaughter, Zuma, to the sport.

Ever the athlete, Lang also trains in long-distance running, cycling, and swimming.

It seems like there is little that the soap opera star cannot do.
