Alicia Maree Malone (born 4 September 1981) is an Australian–American author and television host for Turner Classic Movies (TCM).[2][3]
Born in Canberra, Malone became a cinephile of classic Hollywood films at a young age. After graduating from Canberra Girls Grammar School, she moved to Sydney intending to work in television. In 2000, she was hired by the Channel Seven television station as a teleprompter operator, and later worked in numerous production roles. In 2006, Malone was hired by Movie Network Channels as a producer and editor. With the support of a close friend and colleague, she began hosting film-related programming, and served as a red carpet interviewer at Australian film premieres.
In 2010, Malone moved to Los Angeles to work in American television. She was hired by her native Australian Today show as a press junket journalist, whereby she held media interviews with numerous celebrities. Meanwhile, she hosted several podcasts and wrote two non-fiction books, exploring the involvement of women in film. In 2016, she was hired as a host for the now-defunct streaming service FilmStruck, which led to her hiring as a full-time host for Turner Classic Movies.
