Alicia Witt

Don't Miss
Here's the thing about Alicia Witt: Though best known as an actress, she's been making music for three decades. After her first David Lynch acting job in Dune (he spotted her on an episode of That’s Incredible!), she played the Hayward family's piano-playing daughter on Twin Peaks and Cybill Shepherd’s piano-playing daughter on Cybill. In the midst of dozens of other roles, from The Sopranos to Justified, she's toured, recorded an album, and composed TV theme songs. If she's a more facile pianist than singer, her agreeable classic-pop style lies somewhere between Billy Joel and one-time producer Ben Folds.
