Biography
Corinne Alphen was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, [1] as one of five children of William Alphen, who had served as a deputy chief of police, and his wife Marjorie. Her siblings are sister Robin and brothers Billy, Scott, and Glenn. [2]
Alphen was chosen as Penthouse Pet of the Month for June 1978 and again for August 1981. She was named the 1982 Pet of the Year. [3] [4]
She appeared in US movies and TV shows in the 1980s and early 1990s. Roger Ebert's review of the 1983 teen film Spring Break praised her appearance, and regretted that hers was not the film's main role. [5] In 1984 she starred with a then unknown Willem Dafoe in the erotic vignette film, New York Nights. She also appeared in the 1987 comedy Amazon Women on the Moon as an interactive video girl, and also in 1987 she starred in the post-apocalyptic film Equalizer 2000 . Corinne played a dominatrix in the 1988 comedy Screwball Hotel . In 1991, Alphen made an appearance on the TV sitcom Night Court. She also appeared in an episode of the detective series, Mike Hammer .
She studied at The Tarot School of New York, receiving two certifications in advanced tarot card reading. [2]
Personal life
She was married to actor Ken Wahl from 1983 [6] or 1984 [3] (sources differ) until their 1991 divorce, [7] and was occasionally credited as Corinne Wahl during their marriage. Alphen and Wahl have one child together, a son named Raymond Wahl. [7] In 2009, Wahl sued his former business manager, Henry Levine, alleging that Levine conspired with Wahl's first wife, Corinne Alphen, to defraud him. Wahl also granted Levine power of attorney, according to the lawsuit filed March 30, 2009, in Los Angeles Superior Court, ultimately allowing Levine and Alphen to set up a company "that enabled the secret skimming of funds" from Wahl's bank account. [8]
Alphen also demanded $7,000 a month in child support for their son. And, Wahl claims, he helped to bankroll her plastic surgeries, facials, lavish vacations and massages. [8]
