  • Mary Alice Young (previously Angela Forrest) is a fictional character from the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. The character was created by television producer and screenwriter Marc Cherry and is portrayed by Brenda Strong, who also serves as the narrator of the series from beyond the grave; the character's suicide in the pilot episode served as the catalyst of the series. The narration provided by Mary Alice is essential to the tale of Wisteria Lane, as the series revolves around her sharing the secrets of her friends and neighbors. Her narration technique is akin in style to Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology (1915). Mary Alice is considered the most mysterious of the housewives as only parts of her story are originally known. A loving, doting wife and mother who was generous to her family and neighbors, she was the last person any of them expected to commit suicide. In death, Mary Alice sees things she would not have seen when she was alive: her friends' vulnerabilities, lies, and secrets. She does not judge them so much as love them more because of their foibles, pitying them for the ways they manipulate and hurt those they care about most. Although deceased since the pilot episode, Mary Alice continued to have a leading storyline throughout the first and second seasons of the series, with the story being led by her husband Paul Young (Mark Moses) and son Zach (Cody Kasch). Thereafter, Strong continued to make sporadic appearances as Mary Alice in flashbacks, dreams and as a ghost to other characters while narrating almost every episode of the series. Strong was the subject of acclaim for both her portrayal and narration as the character, with some critics describing her voice as one of the most recognizable on television at the end of the series. She was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for her narration as Mary Alice and received two Screen Actors Guild Awards as a cast member of Desperate Housewives.

  • Mary Alice Young è un personaggio della serie televisiva Desperate Housewives. Il suo personaggio muore nel primo episodio della serie, tuttavia compare spesso in flashback o addirittura in forma di visione. Inoltre i suoi commenti aprono e chiudono ogni episodio (tranne il sedicesimo della terza stagione, dove a fare da narratore è un altro personaggio deceduto, Rex Van de Kamp, e il diciannovesimo della quinta stagione, narrato dall'appena defunta Edie Britt). Dopo la morte, Mary Alice continua ad osservare il quartiere in cui ha vissuto ed è in grado di vedere cose che normalmente non potrebbe conoscere, scoprendo i segreti e le debolezze delle sue amiche. Mary Alice viveva al 4352 di Wisteria Lane. (it)

Ze is het enige karakter dat elke week te horen, maar niet te zien is: Mary Alice schiet zich namelijk in de eerste minuten van de allereerste aflevering door het hoofd en vertelt elke week het verhaal (vanuit haar graf) van haar vriendinnen en buurtbewoners. Heel af en toe is ze te zien in flashbacks. (nl)

  • "It’s kind of like when you knit a sweater and you pull one thread and the entire thing unravels. I think Mary Alice was the thread that started to unravel the rest of them and it continues to unravel. I think really it’s about getting to the very tapestry of everyone’s story, everyone’s shadow, everyone’s deepest fear and I think in some ways, dealing with the world and what we’re up against, it’s not that dissimilar to how people are feeling about their own lives."
