#5: Linda Lavin Was the Voice Behind the Theme Song
That warm, hopeful theme song you hear at the start of Alice? That wasn’t a studio singer brought in for polish — it was Linda Lavin herself. The series’ star didn’t just headline the show, she also lent her own voice to its opening theme.

It’s a fitting touch for a character all about starting over and finding her strength. Lavin’s vocals give the song an extra layer of authenticity, like Alice is telling her own story right from the first note. At Mel’s, she didn’t just take orders — she set the tone.
