Ana Alicia was born December 12, 1956.
She is probably best known for her role as scheming heiress Melissa Agretti on the long-running primetime soap opera Falcon Crest.
She landed several guest roles in episodic television, including Starbuck’s love interest, Aurora, in the 1979 Battlestar Galactica episode “Take the Celestra” and Gloria Alonzo in the episode “Space Croppers” of the series sequel Galactica 1980. Between these she appeared as Falina Redding in the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode “Vegas in Space.” Next Ana Alicia auditioned for the role of spoiled, selfish vineyard heiress Melissa Agretti on Falcon Crest as a replacement for actress Delores Cantú who had played Melissa for one episode in early 1982. Melissa went on to become the series’ “love to hate” character and a firm fan favorite, as a worthy rival for the show’s arch-villainess Angela Channing, played by Jane Wyman. In 1979 Ana Alicia appeared in the made for TV movie The Sacketts as Drusilla, the love of Tyrell Sackett. The movie was based on the Louis L’Amour books The Sacketts and The Daybreakers. Ana Alicia appeared in the 1983 TV-movie, Happy Endings, opposite John Schneider and her former Ryan’s Hope co-star, Catherine Hicks.
In 1989, Ortiz appeared with Raúl Juliá in the movie Romero, her only non-television film role apart from Halloween II in 1981. Then in 1990, Ana Alicia appeared in the 1990 made for TV movie Miracle Landing as flight attendant Michelle Honda. The film is based on an in-flight accident aboard Aloha Airlines Flight 243 that occurred in April 1988. Ana Alicia continued to play guest roles on episodic television, including two episodes in the action series Renegade which reunited her with her former Falcon Crest screen husband Lorenzo Lamas.
