3) Kristian Alfonso - 44
Most of you know Kristian as the most incredible actress on daytime television, who plays the most brilliant role ever written for an actress, Hope Brady.
Fancy Face began her career as a figure skater and gold medal champion at the Junior Olympics. But when she was 13, she had some crazy tobogganing (that sounds so much cooler than sledding) accident, thus ending her skating career. Because she had such a fancy face, she then began modeling. By the time she was 15 she had appeared on the cover of over 30 magazines, including Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Because she wasn't a cokehead by the age of 17 and hadn't been arrested yet, she rarely made the cover of US Weekly or InTouch.
Fancy Face was first seen on TV, playing opposite Rock Hudson in the TV movie The Starmaker in the best year ever, 1981. Her career took off in April 1983 when she started playing Hope Williams on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Fancy Face fell in love with that beefcake, Beau Brady.
Fancy Face left the show when I was starting first grade. I vaguely remember her being on an island somewhere and something blew up. But that could have also happened in 1997 too, so who knows. She realized that she couldn't really act worth a crap and would never be a movie star, so she returned to Days briefly from April to July 1990; this return culminated in the entire town of Salem believing that Hope had died.
She tried to be a movie star again, but sucked, so she returned to the show for a third time in May 1994 as "Gina," an amnesiac who looked a lot like Hope. She ended up being Hope, but not before a drawn-out storyline involving evil Stefano DiMera brainwashing Hope into believing she was Princess Gina von Amburg. Yeah, I really believed she was Gina. And a princess.
A lot of other crazy stuff happens to her, but it's all so stupid that I can't write about it. I do remember her being on a couple episodes of Baywatch once. Her character was a total crazy b-atch and was trying to kill CJ or somebody. I think she got shot. Poor Fancy Face. She has bad luck out in the water.
