Of very mixed German, English, Norwegian, Swedish, and Irish ancestry, Amick was drawn to the performing arts, and with the encouragement by her parents, she started taking piano and dance lessons, while also learned to play violin and guitar. When she was only 16 years old, she left her hometown for Los Angeles, California to pursue a career as an actress.

She made her acting debut in the TV action sci-fi series “Star Trek: The Next Generation” in 1989, though in a minor role, and continued with brief roles in television films, while in 1990 she was chosen for the role of Shelly Johnson, a waitress in the TV crime drama series “Twin Peaks” (1990-1991), and soon became one of the most popular characters in the series, so securing her spot in the film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” – the role propelled her to stardom, and increased her net worth to a large degree. In 1992 she portrayed Tanya Robertson in the film “Sleepwalkers”, and throughout the ‘90s Mädchen had several notable appearances, including the lead role in the romantic comedy film “French Exit”, next to Jonathan Silverman and Molly Hagan, then as Carrie Fairchild in the TV drama series “C.P.W.” (1995-1996), and later the lead role in the TV fantasy drama series “Fantasy Island” (1998-1999), alongside Malcolm McDowell and Edward Hibbert, which added further to her net worth.

She started the new millennium with several B production films, including the sci-fi horror “The Rats” in 2002, then in 2005 she was chosen for the role of Allison in the TV comedy series “Freddie”, and also portrayed Rachel Samson in the drama film “Four Corners of Suburbia”. In 2008, Mädchen was quite busy as she played Duchess Catherine Beaton, in the TV series “Gossip Girl”, then she was Janie Jones in the highly popular TV series “Californication”, and also portrayed Angelica ‘Angie’ Spivey in the TV action-thriller series “My Own Worst Enemy”, all of which increased her net worth

In 2010, Mädchen joined the cast of the award-winning crime drama series “Damages”, and since then has appeared in a number of recurring roles, including Wendy Beauchamp in the TV fantasy drama series “Witches of East End”, then as Mrs. Ellison in the TV horror thriller series “American Horror Story” in 2015, followed by being be chosen for the role of Alice Cooper, one of the lead protagonists in the TV crime-drama mystery series “Riverdale” (2016-2018), increasing her net worth by a large margin. She has also returned to “Twin Peaks” in 2017, this time as Shelly Briggs, after her character married Bobby Briggs.

Quote
1 Everybody loves vampire stories, and if there’s one show in particular that’s done really well, it just opens the door and the opportunity for more of those kind of stories to get through.
2 My first introduction to television, and really just the business in general, was working with David Lynch, with his incredibly open, creative mind that was not following any rules.
3 I really do feel that it’s a lot like The Witches of Eastwick (1987), where there’s a lot of serious magic, there’s some romance, there’s some depth in the characters, but there’s a lot of comedy. We have fun with it. It’s really examining the family dynamic, more than anything else. There just happens to be some witchcraft, on the side.
4 On her character Wendy from Witches of East End (2013): She’s the one that stirs up trouble. She’s a troublemaker, but she’s very grounded and loyal. She’s very loyal to her family. She’s very loyal to her sister. She loves being an aunt. She loves her nieces. But, she’s the one that brings out the truth when Joanna (Julia Ormond) is in denial and hiding the magic from her daughters to give them a normal life. Wendy is like, “What are you talking about? We’re witches! That’s what we are!” I’ve kept tabs on her, even though she hasn’t spoken to me in over 100 years because I killed one of her daughters. I mean, whatever! I’ve come to warn her of this imminent evil that’s coming towards the family. So, she’s the naughty one of the family, but she’s got good intentions. She’s really fun! She’s got something sarcastic to say, always. She’s gonna needle everyone in the family to keep everybody honest about what’s going on. I was a huge Bewitched fan, growing up, and there was this episode about Serena, the cousin that comes to town, and she’s the bad girl. It was funny, the first week of us filming in Vancouver, I was like, “That is so much Wendy.” She always comes into town and causes trouble. I think Serena on Bewitched is an inspiration for Wendy.
5 I think the amazing thing about ‘Twin Peaks’ was that it completely changed television from that point forward.
6 I really like supernatural stories, but, to me, Witches of East End (2013) is really grounded. It’s not just going for the magic tricks and keeping it superficial and action-y.
7 I really loved The Witches of Eastwick (1987), the movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson and Cher.
8 I do love that witches haven’t really been explored that much. Usually, witches are the little side character… a bad female character that comes in and leaves.
9 I know Vikings (2013) isn’t really based in magic, but it goes back to Old World spirituality and different religions, and a lot of voodoo.
10 Most executives are male, so it’s always sort of their vision of stuff. I’m constantly fighting against that even when I play the wife or the girlfriend or the best friend. I always try my hardest to bring as much layering in and not make things stereotypical, but it’s hard.
