Allison Joy Langer, Countess of Devon (born May 22, 1974),[2] commonly known by her stage nameA. J. Langer, is an American actress. She is most known for playing Rayanne Graff on the television series My So-Called Life and Caroline Larkin on Baywatch.
Early years
Born in Columbus, Ohio,[2] Allison Joy Langer moved to the San Fernando Valley with her family at age five. When she joined an otherwise all-boys baseball league at age eight, her teammates considered the name "Allison" to be too feminine, and began calling her by her initials, "A.J."[3] She has one older brother, Kirk.[3]
In 2011, after a six-year acting hiatus, Langer appeared in 14 episodes of Private Practice in the recurring role of Erica Warner. She left the show in 2012 following the death of her character.
Until the death of her father-in-law, Langer held the courtesy title of Lady Courtenay. Following his death, and upon her husband's succession as 19th Earl of Devon, she assumed the title of Countess of Devon. In January 2014, she and her husband permanently relocated their family to London, and to the family seat at Powderham Castle in May 2015. The couple announced their separation, and intention to divorce, in November 2023.[6][7] In February 2024, the couple filed to dismiss their earlier divorce application.[8]
The couple have two children, a daughter and a son:
