From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kristina Wagner (born Kristina Crump on October 30, 1963 in Indianapolis) is an American soap opera actress.
In addition to the name she is known by currently, she was once credited by the name Kristina Malandro, Malandro being the last name of her first husband, whom she met at Northwest High School in Indianapolis.
She got her big break when General Hospital hired her to play Aztec princess Felicia Cummings Jones Shore Jones Scorpio from 1984 to 2003 and from 2004 to 2005. Eventually, her character fell in love with Frisco Jones (played by Jack Wagner) and married him on the show in 1986. Frisco and Felicia were one of GH's numerous supercouples.
Real life mirrored the on-screen fiction when Kristina fell in love with Jack Wagner. After years of dating, they were finally married in December 1993. Citing irreconcilable differences, they filed for divorce in February 2001. In 2003, after two years separated, Kristina announced that she and Jack were working through their problems and privately reconciling.
In the July 20, 2004 issue of Soap Opera Digest, Kristina and Jack Wagner went public with their news of formal reconciliation. Since then they have attended the Monte Carlo Television Festival: their first public appearance since their split four years ago. In 2005, the Wagners filed for divorce yet again.
Wagner was eventually bumped to recurring status on General Hospital. However during May 2005 she asked ABC to place her back on contract for an important storyline in the summer. However ABC refused and thus Wagner walked. Wagner was briefly replaced by former Another World actress Sandra Ferguson, but the character of Felicia has more recently been absent from the show and simply referred to as being "out of town."
