I discovered that the character of 'Alice' represented 80% of the
working women in this country, the blue collar and pink collar women.
Hundreds of women have come up to me and said, 'It was because of
watching "Alice" that I could get through another day with the baby in
a high chair. I knew if SHE could do it, I could do it. I could go back
to school, I could get off welfare, I could change my life.'
