Biography of Alyssa Milano
Alyssa Milano, an American actress of Italian descent, captivated the hearts of viewers as they watched her grow up on screen. Her first significant role arrived when she was just twelve years old in the film "Who's the Boss?", endearing her character, Samantha Micelli, to the American audience until 1992. For her brilliant portrayal of this character, Milano was honoured with four 'Young Artist Awards'.
Childhood, Family, First Roles
Alyssa Jayne was born in the winter of 1972 to Thomas and Lin Milano in Brooklyn. A decade later, she was bestowed with a baby brother named Cory. Her father worked as a music editor and was an avid yachting enthusiast, while her mother was a fashion designer. They were both part of the hippie subculture, fostering a liberal atmosphere at home, although they ensured their children attended the Catholic Church.
During one of her mother's fashion shows, a model-dancer took note of the little girl and suggested she audition for a new musical. At the tender age of eight, Milano triumphed over a thousand hopefuls to land the role of orphan Julie in the Broadway production of "Annie". This was followed by participation in the productions of "Jane Eyre" and "A Tender Offer".
He put his hand under my underwear and tried to force his fingers inside of me. He violated me on a set with cameras rolling, she said.
"Charmed" and Other Projects
Upon concluding her role in the series "Who's the Boss?", Alyssa transitioned into a new phase with a sigh of relief, much to the surprise of her fans accustomed to seeing her portray the girl-next-door. Thrillers and adult-only horror films began to populate the actress's filmography.
However, when Doherty was diagnosed with cancer 15 years later, the former colleagues buried the hatchet.I'm sorry she left, and it's unfortunate that she now feels the need to publicly trash everyone involved in the show, as well as the audience. She seems to be very angry. I just hope I'm not the cause of that anger.
Alyssa Milano's Personal Life
For a long time, the actress's love stories didn't go beyond short-term affairs. The list of her former lovers is quite impressive. The first was Corey Haim, a Canadian actor. They met in 1987 when they were both young. Their first love ended after three years when Corey offered Alyssa to try drugs, from which he himself could never free himself, dying at the age of 38.
By that time, Milano had met pop artist Justin Timberlake , who is nine years her junior. The young man confessed to the actress that he had a poster of her as Samantha Micelli from "Who's the Boss?" in his bedroom, which incredibly touched the actress. Justin had just broken up with Britney Spears, and Alyssa briefly consoled the young man. Another boyfriend of the actress was baseball player Barry Zito, with whom she dated for a year.
The actress is afraid of water, which has repeatedly caused problems on set. Specifically, during the filming of the "Witch's Tail" episode.

Alyssa has eight tattoos: a fairy on her knees in the grass on her lower abdomen, a heart on her lower back, rosary beads on her right shoulder, an angel with a cross and the initials of her unfulfilled spouse on her left ankle, a garland of flowers around her right ankle, a snake biting its tail on her right wrist, the "om" sign on her left wrist, and a Chinese character on the back of her neck.I stumbled on reading words on the teleprompter. Sir Arthur Gilgud, who worked with me on 'The Canterville Ghost,' gave me good advice. I asked how he remembers his monologues, and he answered - 'I rewrite them several times.' I use this method now all the time.
