| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to examine the character of Alice Pieszecki and how she fits with such mainstream images as the female reporter, tabloid reporter, and magazine reporter in film, as well as to understand how she uniquely contributes to the image of the gay female journalist on television. The groundbreaking Showtime series The L Word (Seasons One through Six) depicts Alice, played by actress Leisha Hailey, as a writer for L.A. Magazine, a radio broadcaster for NPR Santa Monica station KCRW- FM, and a co-host on the television talk show The Look. Alice also creates a Web site for Our Chart, a diagram that shows who has slept with whom and how everyone is connected, where she posts her podcast, Alice in Lesboland. |
