In April 1976, she was a Playboy - to see the model on the magazine cover (USA), photographed by Suze Randall ; and Helmut Newton made her shots for Playboy, the same year in August were published in the US edition. Her photo later appeared on the cover of men's magazine Playboy , women's magazine Playgirl and other images were featured in magazines such as B. Celebrity Sleuth released.

She became famous as an actress in 1976 as the title heroine in the erotic version of Alice in Wonderland by Bud Townsend , a musical comedy with hardcore sequences that has now achieved cult status. With her debut film, she suddenly became known abroad, but the porn scenes made it impossible for her to have a steep Hollywood career and a real breakthrough as a film actress in the prudish USA of the 1980s during the conservative Reagan era. This feature film, at the time distributed worldwide by 20th Century Fox Film Corporation , marks the high point of her career.

Kristine DeBell was later featured in a slew of low budget productions that either appeared in video stores or were primarily intended for television. She was particularly successful in roles as a teenager. An example of this is a 1979 production, the Canadian summer camp comedy Meatballs - Baby Bacon and Meatballs by Ivan Reitman , in which she played the prominent role of an over-the-top schoolgirl named AL at the side of Bill Murray . In Cheerleaders Wild Weekend , also from 1979, gangsters kidnap an entire bus full of teenagers in order to extort a handsome sum of ransom. The girls try to get free with all means and using their feminine charms.

In the coming years the actress ended up not really big hit, but turned after all, in 1980 with Jackie Chan , a martial arts farce entitled The Big Brawl ( The Big Brawl ) in which it Nancy, the fiancee of the brother of the great movie stars and Kung Fu fighter (Jerry) played. She also had guest appearances on talk shows and appeared in front of the camera for numerous small background roles in popular (albeit often short-lived) American TV series such as The Waltons , CHiPs , Eight Is Enough or Police Woman and television films such as Life Of The Party: The Pamela Harriman Story and Suddenly, Love (as Helen Malloy). In 1979 DeBell starred opposite Barbra Streisand as Lucy in What, you don't want? ( The Main Event ) and a year earlier with Richard Gere as Cheri in Hot Blood ( Bloodbrothers ).

In 1980, she took on a supporting role (as Pam Warren) in the endless US daily soap Young and the Restless ( The Young and the Restless ) of the transmitter CBS , and in 1987 she appeared in the thriller The Great American Girl Robbery in the role of Debbie Williams With. Kristine DeBell last appeared in America Confidential in 1990 , where she had her last film appearance to date. She has since left Hollywood and is now exclusively devoted to theater roles.
