Kristen Alfonso was born on September 5, 1963, in Brockton, Massachusetts. She spent her formative years in her hometown and graduated from Brockton High School in 1982. A talented figure skater in her youth, she won a gold medal at the Junior Olympic Figure Skating Championships when she was just 13 years old. Unfortunately, a severe accident later that year ended her skating career prematurely.
Following the end of her skating pursuits, Alfonso turned to modeling. By the age of 15, she had already appeared on the covers of over 30 magazines, including prominent publications such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. In 1979, she was featured on the cover of Seventeen magazine, marking a milestone that helped propel her modeling career.
Kristen Alfonso made her acting debut in the 1981 television movie The Starmaker. Her career gained significant momentum in April 1983 when she was cast as Hope Williams Brady on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. The role became her most iconic and was instrumental in establishing her status as a soap opera star.
In 1987, Alfonso left Days of Our Lives to join the primetime television drama Falcon Crest, where she played Pilar Ortega for the final two seasons. After her time on Falcon Crest, she temporarily returned to Days of Our Lives and remained a pivotal character on the show for years to come.
