We construct holomorphic families of proper holomorphic embeddings of Ck into Cn (0<k<n−1), so that for any two different parameters in the family, no holomorphic automorphism of Cn can map the image of the corresponding two embeddings onto each other. As an application to the study of the group of holomorphic automorphisms of Cn, we derive the existence of families of holomorphic C∗-actions on Cn (n≥5) so that different actions in the family are not conjugate. This result is surprising in view of the long-standing holomorphic linearization problem, which, in particular, asked whether there would be more than one conjugacy class of C∗-actions on Cn (with prescribed linear part at a fixed point).
