Darcy Rose Byrnes (born November 4, 1998) is an American and Irish actress, singer and songwriter. She is best known for her roles as Abby Newman on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, Penny Scavo on Desperate Housewives, Princess Amber on Sofia the First and Elena and the Secret of Avalor, Ikki on The Legend of Korra, and Maricela in Spirit Riding Free. In addition to contributing original music to the show, Byrnes recurs in the role of Harper Schapira, in Season 1 and Season 2, on the Disney+ series Big Shot (2021/2022). In May of 2024, Darcy Rose Byrnes began her run as Mary Lane in the 25th Anniversary production of Reefer Madness: The Musical at The Whitley on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. Chris Willman of Variety wrote "Byrnes is a real songbird, and literally wide-eyed in her innocence — part Mary Pickford, part Jeannette McDonald. (Eventually, she’s kind of a hopped-up Bettie Page, too.)" And declared "Byrnes feels born to sell the naivete and forlornness of her character’s “Lonely Pew,” with some soprano heft."




Early life


Byrnes was born in Burbank, California. She was homeschooled during her time on The Young and The Restless and then tested out of high school early. As she was too young to be a full-time undergraduate student, she enrolled in the eight-week Shakespeare programme at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London.
