Ann had previously spoken of her love for the role telling.

“I made up a background story,” she told the Archive of American Television in 2004.

“I did have a twin sister, so I used that as a basis. I cared very much about this family. It was my family. It was close to my family as Alice would ever get. I would have died for any single one of them at any point.

“You know, they wrote me such gorgeous things to do, as the intermediary between the kids and the adults, and between the boys and the girls. And they gave me funny things to do.”
