BIOGRAPHY:
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?" 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.
