Corinne Wahl
- Actress
Buxom, beautiful and charismatic brunette stunner Corinne Alphen was
born on September 27, 1954 in Lynn, Massachusetts. She's the oldest of
five children. Her father William was a Deputy Chief of Police in Lynn,
Massachusetts, and her mother Marjorie worked as a secretary in the
Commonwealth's Registry of Motor Vehicles. Alphen attended the
parochial educational institutions St. John the Evangelist grammar
school and Ste. Chrétienne Academy in Salem (she was the president of
the drama club in this latter all-girls high school). Corrine moved to
Los Angeles, California at age seventeen and studied acting at Santa
Monica City College. She made her television debut as a contestant on
the local Boston, Massachusetts game-show "Race to Riches." Alphen
first gained major public recognition as a Pet of the Month in the June
1978 issue of Penthouse Magazine. Corrine did a follow-up nude
pictorial in the August 1981 issue of Penthouse. Alphen was
subsequently named the Pet of the Year in 1982; she both graced the
cover of and did a nude pictorial in the November 1982 issue of
Penthouse Magazine. Corinne went on to act in a handful of movies and
TV shows. She gave an especially radiant and delightful performance as
fiery rock singer Joan in the amusingly lowbrow teen sex comedy romp
Spring Break (1983). Alphen was
likewise lively and impressive as the feisty Karen in the cruddy
post-nuke sci-fi/action clinker
Equalizer 2000 (1987). She made
guest appearances on the TV shows
The New Mike Hammer (1984),
The A-Team (1983),
Booker (1989),
Mancuso, FBI (1989), and
Night Court (1984). Outside of
her work in films and TV series, Corrine not only has acted in both TV
commercials and in a few stage plays (said plays include portraying
Flora in a New York City theater production of
Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll"), but
also has worked as a model in numerous magazine print ads. She was
married to actor Ken Wahl for several years and
had one son Raymond (born 1984) with Wahl prior to their divorce in
1991. Corinne Alphen now works as a certified professional Tarot card
reader.
