Marah Lewis is a fictional character on the CBS daytime soap opera, Guiding Light. The character is the daughter of the popular supercouple, Josh Lewis and Reva Shayne. Marah was born on-screen in June 1987, but this was subsequently revised to 1985 and 1983 when she turned three years old in 1988 and sixteen years old in 1999 respectively.
Six actresses have regularly portrayed the character, the most recent being Lindsey McKeon, who garnered two nominations for Outstanding Younger Actress at the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2002 and 2003. Ashley Peldon and Kimberly J. Brown each also garnered a nomination in the same category in 1991 and 1996 respectively. The latter reprised the role briefly in 2006. Days of Our Lives actor Martha Madison auditioned twice for the role—once in 2001 and again in 2009. Speaking on her latter audition, she revealed: "The second time, it seemed like I was probably going to get it, and then they canceled the show the next week."[1]
Marah currently resides in Paris, France, working as a fashion designer. Marah has four brothers, Dylan Lewis, Shayne Lewis, Jonathan Randall, and Colin O'Neill. The character's last regular appearance on the show was in April 2004.
