Christie Mary Clark (born December 13, 1973) is an American soap opera actress. She was born in Orange County, California.
Her most notable work on daytime has been the portrayal of Carrie Brady on Days of our Lives. She played the role from 1986 to 1990, 1992 to 1999 and 2005 to 2006. Clark succeeded Andrea Barber in 1986 and Tracy Middendorf in 1992.
For her portrayal of Carrie Brady, Clark has been nominated for four Young Artist Awards and two Outstanding Younger Actress Daytime Emmy Awards.
Clark has also appeared in several feature films, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) and Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993).
Clark returned to Days shortly following the show's 40th Anniversary and was with the show for less than a year before she was let go in late August 2006. It is unknown whether her firing, along with fellow Days actor Austin Peck, was the result of budget cuts or the employment of Hogan Sheffer to replace James E. Reilly as Head Writer in July of that year. She and Peck last aired on October 26, 2006.
Clark recently auditioned for the role of Courtney Matthews on the 3rd most watched daytime serial General Hospital.
