Description:
Alyssa Milano is the daughter of Italian-American parents
Lin, a fashion designer, and Tom, a film music editor. Alyssa was born in a
working class neighborhood in Brooklyn and grew up in a modest house on Staten
Island. One day, her babysitter, who was an aspiring dancer, dragged Alyssa
along to a an open audtion for the first national tour of Annie. But it was
Alyssa, not the sitter, who beat out 1,500 other wanna be stage actresses to
snag a role. So at the tender age of seven, with her mother in tow, Alyssa joined
the tour as July, one of the orphans. After 18 months on the road, Alyssa, who
had begun to garner a reputation as an energetic and charismatic young actress,
left Annie to be featured in off-Broadway productions and television commercials.
Then, in 1983 at age 10, she landed her breakthrough role on the new sitcom
"Who's the Boss?" (1984) as Tony Danza's saccharine sweet daughter,
Samantha Micelli, a kid whose native Brooklyn accent rivaled her TV dad's. In
order for Alyssa to accept the gig, the Milano family had to uproot and move
3,000 miles to Hollywood.
