According to Soap Central, Camryn Grimes earned the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress in 2000. She was the youngest actress to win in that category, as she was only 10 years old at the time. But that isn’t the only award Grimes won during her career. In 2018, she made her way to the podium again when she won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Mariah Copeland. That puts her in a category by herself as she managed to win two awards for two different characters that she has played on the same soap opera series. When she accepted the second Emmy of her career, Grimes admitted she had not prepared a speech because she didn’t think she would win. However, she did manage to share a special message for her fans: “For everyone who dares to love truthfully … this is for you,” she said (via Michael Fairman TV).
Grimes also admitted that playing both characters on the soap felt like no big deal for her. She told Daytime Confidential, “I’ve always said Cassie and Mariah are two halves of my own personality. I just go from one extreme to another.” That said, Grimes’ two Emmys are not her only daytime television accomplishments of her career so far.
