Alfonso won the gold medal in a figure skating championship when she was thirteen years old. [7] After injuring her leg in a tobogganing accident, she had to give up skating and dancing. [6] Alfonso soon received opportunities that led to a modeling career and eventually acting. She graduated from Brockton High School in 1982. [7]

After her skating career ended, Alfonso was signed to Wilhelmina Models. By the time she was fifteen, she had appeared on the covers of 30 international magazines, including Vogue and Harper's Bazaar . She appeared on the cover of Seventeen in 1979. [7] [3] Alfonso considered herself lucky to be working as a model because she stands at only 5'4½ inches tall. She sometimes had to stand on apple boxes to appear taller. [6]

Alfonso's modeling work gained attention from NBC and she received her first acting role. She was cast as Kelly Blake in the television film The Star Maker (1981), co-starring with Rock Hudson.
