Character
Alison Hendrix
Alison Hendrix in Orphan Black (2013), played by Tatiana Maslany.
Alison is a suburban soccer mom obsessed with order — schedules, decor, appearances — until she learns she's one of several genetically identical women. Married, devout, and desperate to keep her life looking normal, she reacts to the impossible news about her own existence with tightly wound denial, passive-aggression, and an increasingly shaky grip on composure.
Tatiana Maslany plays Alison as comedy and horror at once: a woman whose need for control curdles into something sharper the more her world destabilizes. The show uses her suburban properness as a pressure valve — every clenched smile and craft-project meltdown is a joke and a warning, and Maslany never lets you forget both are true.
