Her memorable portrayal of a sympathetic drug addict in the Emmy-nominated HBO miniseries "The Corner" truly solidified her stature as a gifted and promising actress.

In between, she forged a four-year-long creative collaboration with the multi-platinum songstress Whitney Houston. Their assocation culminated in Alexander choreographing Houston's successful "I'm Your Baby Tonight" internationa concert tour, which established Houston as a star and Alexander as a guiding force. Alexander also served as choreographer for the 1992 American Music Awards.

Alexander was born and raised in Queens, New York, and lives in Los Angeles.
