'''Abbie Cobb''' is an American actress and author. She is known for her recurring roles as Emily Bradford on ''90210'' and as Kimantha on ''Suburgatory''.

==Life and career== Abbie Cobb was born in Papillion, Nebraska.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://journalstar.com/entertainment/small-screen/television-and-radio/jeff-korbelik-tv-news-about-nebraskan-abbie-cobb-and-more/article_ff4c861b-1b55-55ed-b5db-57088246afbb.html|title=Jeff Korbelik: TV news about Nebraskan Abbie Cobb and more|first=Jeff|last=Korbelik|website=JournalStar.com}}</ref>

In 2009, she received her first screen role as A.J. in the 2010 Disney Channel original film ''Starstruck''. She also had small role in the 2009 film ''The Missing Person''. Her other acting credits include ''The Mentalist'', ''Jonas'', ''Medium'', ''CSI: Miami'', ''Pair of Kings'', ''Imagination Movers'', ''Big Time Rush'', ''American Horror Story'' and the Disney Channel original film ''Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!'' (2011).

From 2011 to 2013, she had a recurring role as Emily Bradford on The CW series ''90210''. She almost did not land the role, because of her close resemblance to fellow ''90210'' actress Jennie Garth. Her hair was dyed a dark color so she would be less like Garth.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/02/24/90210-spoiler-emily-leaving-annie-prom/ |title='90210′ Exclusive: Abbie Cobb Says Crazy Emily 'May Not Be Around Much Longer!' |last=Swift |first=Andy |publisher=Hollywood Life |date=February 24, 2011 |accessdate=January 7, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110914122635/http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/02/24/90210-spoiler-emily-leaving-annie-prom/ |archive-date=September 14, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

In 2011, Cobb wrote her first book entitled ''Stuck on a Ferris Wheel'', a guide book to assist up-and-coming actors.<ref>{{cite book|title=''Stuck on a Ferris Wheel: An Actor's Guide to Enjoying the Ride While Keeping Your Feet on The Ground'' |isbn=978-1432765545 |last1=Cobb |first1=Abbie |date=20 June 2011 }}</ref>

From 2012 to 2014, Cobb had a recurring role as Kimantha on the ABC sitcom ''Suburgatory''.

After years of being told how much she looks like Jennie Garth, particularly during Garth's time on ''Beverly Hills, 90210'', it was announced in July 2015 that Cobb was cast to play Garth in the Lifetime television film ''The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story''. It premiered on October 3, 2015.<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Bentley|first1=Jean|title=Lifetime's Unauthorized Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210 Movie Casts Revealed|url=http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/lifetimes-unauthorized-melrose-place-and-90210-movies-get-first-pics-2015227|magazine=Us Weekly|accessdate=July 23, 2015}}</ref>
