Note on "Acting": The prompt asks for a career overview of Alice Waters (Acting). Source [1] lists "Known For: Acting" and "Known Credits: 22". However, the synopsis describes her culinary career. I must balance these. I cannot invent acting roles because they aren't listed. I can only state she has 22 known credits in acting according to TMDB.
