A Days Of Our Lives star looked worlds away from her glamorous TV persona when she surfaced this week in Los Angeles.

Over a long and busy career, she has acted on some of the top soap operas in America, including All My Children and The Young & The Restless.

Her other television credits include such beloved programs as Melrose Place, ER, NCIS, The X-Files, CSI:Miami, Charmed and True Blood.

She plays two doppelgängers on Days Of Our Lives, both of whom used to be played by The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills alum Eileen Davidson.

When she was spotted running errands in Los Angeles this week, she wore an ultra-casual look including pajamas and fuzzy bunny slippers.

Can you guess who she is?

She is Stacy Haiduk, who since 2018 has been playing two roles on Days Of Our Lives - Kristen Blake DiMera and Susan Banks.

Both roles were originated by Eileen Davidson, who earned a new audience as one of the early Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

Stacy has earned two Daytime Emmy nominations in her time on Days Of Our Lives, plus an earlier nod thanks to The Young & The Restless.

When she was glimpsed stepping out in Los Angeles this week, she cut a cozy figure in a warm red sweater with her bunny slippers and pajama bottoms.

Going for a minimalistic look where makeup was concerned, she swept her blonde hair back into a bun and accessorized with rose-colored half-moon shades.

Even while dressed to the nines, she still manages to turn heads - as when she brought a taxidermy cat called Mr. Kitty with her to the 2009 Daytime Emmys.

She turned out to be offering a bit of fan service, as Mr. Kitty was a prop from The Young & The Restless, on which her unhinged character spoke to the stuffed animal.

After the red carpet moment went viral, Stacy revealed that Mr. Kitty had been rented from a prop house for the hit soap opera - but shared her belief that he had been somebody's actual pet while he was alive.

She explained that people who attended the Daytime Emmys with her saw the cat and 'thought it was the coolest thing in the world,' via People.

'Then they thought it was my pet from home, that when it passed away I got [stuffed]. It got a lot of heat out there!' she shared.

Stacy gave the prop 'its own seat' next to her at the awards, and 'then somebody said: "That's my seat," and we said: "No, no, no, this is Mr. Kitty, he has his own seat tonight." People around me were just laughing. People love it, they really, really do.'

Stacy, who at that point had three cats, confessed she did not 'think' she would ever have any of them taxidermized after they died.

'I have ashes from my dog on my mantle,' she said. 'but I don't know if I could handle having a dog in the corner just staring at me.'
