Kristen Alderson

Kristen Alderson began working as an actress at the age of 5 in a touring company of Annie before landing the role of Starr Manning on One Life to Live a year later. Following OLTL’s cancellation in 2011, she brought her alter ego over to General Hospital in 2012. But a legal issue with the rights of the character forced GH to recast Alderson in the newly created role of Kiki Jerome in 2013. That same year, she won a Daytime Emmy Award for her previous work as Starr. Alderson exited GH when she chose not to renew her contract in 2015. She married actor Taylor Crousore in July 2023, and they welcomed their daughter, Kiera, in January 2024.
