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.[4] 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.
