It was not long after that New Year's Eve that she got the part of Melissa Agretti on Falcon Crest. Ana-Alicia was on the show for seven years, playing the ambitious, scheming Melissa to a tee. She also played opposite the formidable Jane Wyman as Angela Channing, and a plethora of handsome men.
Melissa's first husband was Cole Gioberti (William Moses). After becoming pregnant with his child, she married Lance (Lorenzo Lamas) to align the Agretti vineyards with Falcon Crest. Cole subsequently moved to Australia.
Melissa and Lance endured a tempestuous relationship. Their two marriages and divorces due, in part, to affairs with other people as well as the stubborn and headstrong personalities of both husband and wife. Other players featured in Melissa's love life included Eric Stavros (John Callahan) and Dan Fixx (Brett Cullen).
In October of this year, Ana-Alicia left Falcon Crest. The show won't be the same without her.
Falcon Crest can be seen on Soapnet.
