Kimberlin Ann Brown (born April 29, 1961) is an American actress, business owner, and politician. She portrayed Sheila Carter on the CBS daytime soap operas The Young and the Restless (1990 to 1992, 2005 to 2006) and The Bold and the Beautiful (off and on from 1992 to the present). She received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role as Sheila on The Young and the Restless in 1993 and was nominated in the same category for The Bold and the Beautiful in 2022.

Brown was born in Hayward, California, and raised in La Mesa, near San Diego. Her parents divorced when she was in junior high school. She enjoyed spending summers at her grandparents' ranch in Northern California. She attended Grossmont High School and Grossmont College.

In 1979, Brown entered the Miss La Mesa pageant on a dare. To her surprise, she won. She was named first runner up in the Miss California pageant later that year. Brown caught the attention of Nina Blanchard, a modeling agent who judged the pageant. Blanchard signed her as a client and soon after, she was modeling in Tokyo, Milan, and Paris.

Unsatisfied with modeling, Brown became interested in acting. She made her television debut in an episode of the ABC series Fantasy Island. She then went on to guest star on Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, and Hawaiian Heat. Her early film credits include Eye of the Tiger, Who's That Girl,18 Again!, and Back to School. Brown had a brief role on Capitol in 1987.

Brown had a short term role on Santa Barbara in 1990. She was then cast as Sheila Carter on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless (after originally auditioning for the role of Cassandra Rawlins). In 1992, it was announced that her character, Sheila, would move to The Bold and the Beautiful. She received a 1993 Daytime Emmy Award nomination as Outstanding Supporting Actress for playing Sheila on The Young and the Restless. She continued to play the role on The Bold and the Beautiful until 1998.

She had a role in the 1992 film The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them and guest starred on Diagnosis Murder in 1997.

Brown had a short term role as Shelly Clark on the NBC soap opera Another World in 1999. She then joined the cast of the ABC soap opera Port Charles as Rachel Locke, from July 1999 to November 2000. She made return appearances to the show in 2001 and 2002. Brown and her Port Charles co-star, Nolan North, guest starred in two episodes of Six Feet Under, playing soap opera actors.

In 2003, Brown appeared in the film Becoming Marty. She then returned to The Bold and the Beautiful, once again playing Sheila Carter.
