Character biography

Back story

In 1943, Rebecca's family were killed by Nazis, and Rebecca was put to work in a concentration camp, cataloguing stolen Jewish artworks. Rebecca escaped and testified at war crimes trials against the commandant, who was sentenced to death. She also returned all of the stolen artworks to their rightful owners. After receiving death threats, Rebecca and her sister Isabel immigrated from Rome to the United States, where Rebecca met and married Arturo (Arthur) Kaplan. The couple had two children, George and Stephanie. When George and Stephanie were in their teens, the Nazis managed to track the family down, and killed Arthur, Stephanie and Isabel (whom they mistakenly believed was Rebecca). Rebecca and George were forced to go on the run from the Nazis, and when George's friend Brad Carlton was killed, George took his identity and moved to Genoa City, with Rebecca still in hiding.

On-screen

In July 2006, Brad (George) (played by Don Diamont), now in his forties, finally told his wife Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and his oldest daughter Colleen (Adrianne Leon) about his past and his true identity, and introduced them to Rebecca, whom they had believed to be dead.
