Alice was born and raised in the vibrant city of New York, where she developed a passion for the performing arts at a very young age. Her fascination with the world of theater was sparked by a memorable performance of "Man of La Mancha" she saw at the age of 10, which inspired her to pursue a career in acting.
As a young girl, Alice was actively involved in various school plays and productions, honing her skills and developing her talent. She went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from prestigious Hunter College, laying the foundation for her future success.
After completing her education, Alice began her professional career in the entertainment industry, performing in several Off-Off Broadway productions. Her big break came when she was cast in her first leading film role in "Mission Hill," which was re-released in 2011 under the title "No Expectations."
Following this success, Alice was cast in the TBS soap opera "The Catlins" in Atlanta, and upon her return to New York, she established a successful career in commercials. In 1989, she landed the role of Frankie Frame in NBC's "Another World," a part she played for seven years.
Since then, Alice has appeared in numerous prime-time television shows, including "Chicago Med," "Billions," and "Law & Order: SVU." Her impressive filmography also includes "Choke" alongside Sam Rockwell, "13," "Twelve," and "Behind Some Dark Cloud," which stars her daughter Julia Barrett-Mitchell.
In 2020, Alice was cast as the matriarch of a wrestling family in the Lionsgate/Starz production "Heels." Throughout her career, she has been fortunate to work with talented individuals and has had the opportunity to showcase her versatility as an actress.
In her personal life, Alice is married to musician and songwriter Stanley John Mitchell, and they are the proud parents of two talented daughters, Anna Barrett Mitchell, a painter, musician, and songwriter, and Julia Barrett-Mitchell, an actor and director. The family resides in the charming neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
