Phoebe Forrester

Phoebe Forrester is a fictional character from the CBS Daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. The first actress to play the character on a contract basis was Addison Hoover, who joined the show in April 2005 and left just months later. From July 11, 2006 to 2008, Phoebe was played by MacKenzie Mauzy. The character was killed off in 2008. Phoebe Forrester and her twin sister, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), were born in September 1989 to Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) and Taylor Hayes Forrester (Hunter Tylo). As a result of constant SORASing, Phoebe was seventeen by 2006.

Phoebe has been described as an "ill-fated beauty".
