| 88 | !!Tropes related to Wendie Malick: |
| 89 | * CelebrityVoiceActor: Malick's distinctive voice has led to her having been a voice actor for almost as long as she has been an on-camera actor, from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' in 1999 to ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman''. |
| 90 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: She's an animal rights activist and works to rehabilitate captured wild horses. In addition, she personally owns one cat, three dogs, and two horses, totaling six pets. |
| 91 | * HiddenDepths: When she first made the transition from modeling to acting in the 1990s, she was cast mainly for her appearance (as in ''Series/{{Baywatch}}''). After being cast in the sitcom ''Series/DreamOn'', she displayed such a marked talent for comedy that the writers began to redraft scripts to accentuate it (which led to her [=CableACE=] nominations and wins). She later became a highly sought-after comedic actor. |
| 92 | * {{Irony}}: Wendie rescues mustangs in ''real'' life, yet in ''Film/RacingStripes'' she played an abusive trainer of ''domestic'' horses. |
| 93 | ** Many of her roles in ''general'' are [[WitchWithACapitalB witches]], but [[BaitAndSwitchComment it wasn't until 2020 that]] [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse she played a witch with magic powers]]. |
| 94 | * MeetCute: She met her husband while volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in Tijuana. |
| 95 | * SilverVixen: She's retained her good looks even as she's gotten older. |
| 96 | * StatuesqueStunner: Stands 5'10" and is very gorgeous. She was a model early in her career, natch. |
