Born December 19, 1972 to Italian-American parents and raised in Brooklyn, actress Alyssa Milano started acting on the stage in a national tour of “Annie” at the age of eight. She rose to teen stardom as the tomboyish Samantha Micelli on the ABC sitcom “Who's the Boss,” which ran from 1984-1992.

After two seasons playing Jennifer Mancini on the hit FOX show “Melrose Place,” Milano re-teamed with Spelling Television in The WB series “Charmed.”

Milano's feature film career includes the title role in the comedy “Hugo Pool,” which premiered at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival. The film, directed by Robert Downey, Sr. and co-starring Sean Penn, Malcolm McDowell and Richard Lewis, chronicled a day in the life of Milano’s character, a Bel Air pool cleaner.

Milano's additional feature credits include the Imagine Entertainment/Universal Pictures' feature, “Fear,” directed by James Foley. In this psychological thriller, Milano co-starred with Reese Whitherspoon and Mark Wahlberg as Margo, a seventeen year-old going on twenty-five who is involved in a dangerous fatal attraction relationship. Other feature films include the action-thriller “Double Dragon,” “Where the Day Takes You,” “Commando” (starring Arnold Schwarzenegger) and “Little Sister.”

Milano resides in Los Angeles, California. Outside of acting, her hobbies include photography, humanitarian work and spending time with her 4 dogs: Ripely, Stella, Hugo, and Lucy.
