Kristian Alfonso

Former figure skater Kristian-Joy Alfonso successfully transitioned to acting, and we best remember her from Days of Our Lives. While a tobogganing accident ended her prospects as a figure skating career at 13, Alfonso made a name for herself as a model. By 15, she had graced the cover of more than 30 magazines.

The 1981 TV movie The Starmaker marked her acting debut. Alfonso soon joined the cast of Days of Our Lives in 1983, and she reprised her role in the show’s 2019 reboot. In 2020 she announced that she had officially bid goodbye to her role in the show.
