Alice Cooper may have started out as one of TV's fiercest helicopter moms, but as of mid-season two of the hit CW show "Riverdale," she's evolved into one of TV's most fashionable, badass (fierce helicopter) moms. Here are six reasons she deserves the title of "Best Riverdale Character":
1. Stylish AF
Alice Cooper usually sticks to sweater sets (we know where Betty gets it from) and a pair of snazzy reading glasses, but she isn't afraid to pull out her "fuck 'em" dress every now and again. And, can I just say, whenever she does—she slays.
2. An attentive parent
So attentive might be a bit of an understatement... Still, no one could accuse Alice of being uninvolved in her children's lives. Though she can be quite demanding and controlling of her two daughters, it's only because her love for them exceeds her capacity for containment.
3. Active community member
Alice is always the first to stand up at a town meeting and eviscerate local law enforcement, town government, and anyone else who she deems isn't doing their job right. In a society where most women who speak their mind without sugarcoating are called "bitches," I applaud Alice for her courage and candor.4. An ace reporter
Alice is quick to rail on people who aren't doing their job because she takes hers so seriously. She's committed to providing the residents of Riverdale with a newspaper that doesn't shy away from hard-hitting subjects (although she is a bit of a sensationalist). Alice has obviously passed down the former trait to Betty.
5. Has amazing chemistry with FP Jones
Okay, so this one is debatable (not really). Look at them! #Falice
6. Amazing acting by Mädchen Amick
Mädchen Amick is partly to credit for Alice Cooper's amazing (and ultimately believable) transformation, from a one-dimensional mother with unreasonable expectations, to a multi-faceted woman who just wants to take care of her family. Amick gives Alice a consistency and a vulnerability that couldn't be achieved by another actor.
