Mädchen Amick Riverdale
On The CW’s Riverdale, she plays Alice Smith. Alice is the ex-wife of Hal Cooper and the mother of Betty and Polly Cooper, as well as her son Charles Smith, whom she gave up for adoption when she was in high school. Juniper and Dagwood, Jason and Polly’s twins, are also her grandchildren. Alice’s former membership in the Southside Serpents was one of her best kept secrets. Following her arrest, she severed all ties with the gang and deleted, or thought to have deleted, every mention of her arrest from the system archives.
Alice was reunited with her biological son, Charles Smith, and given the task of bringing down Edgar Evernever and The Farm. She later discovered, however, that Charles was a psychopath who was responsible for multiple deaths. She also rekindled her childhood romance with FP Jones, which ended with FP leaving with Jellybean for Toledo. Alice’s heart was broken twice.
Mädchen Amick Witches of East End
On Witches of East End, she plays Wendy Beauchamp. She is King Nikolaus’s younger daughter, Joanna Beauchamp’s younger sister, Helena Beauchamp’s sister, Victor Beauchamp’s sister-in-law, and Ingrid, Freya, and Frederick Beauchamp’s aunt.
Wendy is a brilliantly funny, bright, eccentric, and sultry witch. She enters the series concerned for the well-being of her sister and nieces, and she teaches them how to use their powers. She is not without vulnerability, as she was deeply sorry for making disparaging remarks about her sister while being corrupted by the Serpens Clavem. When her nephew, Frederick, reappears, she has difficulty trusting him because he betrayed the Beauchamp women and his father and apparently abandoned them to the mercy of King Nikolaus. After he saves her from The Mandragora, she eventually learns to trust him.
Mädchen Amick Twin Peaks
Shelly appeared in Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, and Twin Peaks: The Return. Shelly McCauley Briggs (known as Shelly Johnson during her first marriage) worked as a waitress at the Double R Diner, which was owned by Norma Jennings, a friend and motherly figure to Shelly, who dropped out of high school to marry trucker Leo Johnson, who had swept her off her feet with lavish attention. As soon as they married, it became clear that Leo simply “wanted a maid he didn’t have to pay for,” as she put it. Leo was a monstrous home dictator, wife-beater, and dangerous criminal who was inextricably linked to Laura Palmer’s murder.
Shelly was having an affair with Laura’s boyfriend, Bobby Briggs, who, like Laura, was still in high school and, aside from being a jock, was a known hooligan. Although Bobby did not always follow the rules, he was at least kind to Shelly, unlike Leo. The affair was fraught with danger, and Bobby dealt drugs for Leo and was well aware of how dangerous Leo was. Shelly had a daughter named Rebecca, or “Becky,” and continued to work at the diner for the next twenty-five years.
