Mel has always had three waitresses working at the diner - his longest-employed waitress was rambunctious Florence Jean Castleberry, better known as Flo; Vera Louise Gorman-Novak, was a shy, nervous woman from Boston; and Alice Hyatt who was born in New Jersey.

Melvin Emory Sharples (commonly known as Mel) is a fictional character in the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and the television sitcom series, Alice.

After Flo moved back to Cowtown, Belle Dupree, a waitress he knew from when he first worked in restaurants, came to help out.
Although one of the three waitresses, Alice, is the main character, the show revolves around all of the waitresses and Mel Sharples, the owner and cook.
She was a main supporting player on the show Sha Na Na (she also did the announcing) and made two turns on the show Alice one playing a tour guide named Bobbi who falls for Mel and playing a dental assistant, Ms. Dubro, who sang Broadway songs, rather off-key.
