Veleka Gray (born March 22, 1951), sometimes credited as Velekka Gray, is an American actress, best known for her roles as department store executive Vicki Paisley Cannell on Somerset, and as Mia Marriott on Love of Life from 1977 to 1980.
In 1975 Gray joined the cast of Somerset as Victoria Paisley. Her screen partner in that role was Joel Crothers, who played Julian Cannell. Gray and Crothers were engaged to be married when he died in 1985.
In 1977, she was cast in the role of Mia Marriott on Love of Life. In April 1980, she originated the role of nurse Lyla Montgomery on As the World Turns.
In February 1983, Gray appeared on The Young and the Restless as sassy hotel manicurist Ruby Collins. Two months later, in April, she began a contract role as a different character in the same series, Dr. Sharon Reaves, Patty Williams' demure and earnest psychiatrist. This dual role made her the only actor in soap history to play two roles simultaneously on the same series that were neither related nor lookalikes.
Back in New York City in 1986, Gray became a regular cast member of the "CBS Radio Mystery Show" for Himan Brown.[citation needed]
Gray has taught acting, speech and business classes and worked with prisoners on public speaking skills.[1]
Her recent work includes commercials and voice work.[2]
