Christel Khalil – Lily Winters Ashby
Christel Khalil has starred on The Young and the Restless since she was a teenager, playing fan favorite Lily Winters. Originally a rebellious teen, Lily has grown into a full-fledged lead character who struggles with relationships and battles ovarian cancer. A child actress who started her career with a bit part on The Sinbad Show, Khalil has since amassed a following (and a much bigger bank account balance) thanks to parts on That’s So Raven and 2 Broke Girls. Christel, who is of Pakistani, Native American, and African-American descent, became the first woman of color to win a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2012.
