hi, my name is Alyssa Jayne Milano.
i am the daughter of Italian-American parents Lin, a fashion designer, and Tom, a film music editor.i was born in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn and grew up in a modest house on Staten Island. One day,my babysitter, who was an aspiring dancer, dragged me along to a an open audtion for the first national tour of Annie. at the tender age of seven, with my mother in tow,i joined the tour as July, one of the orphans. After 18 months on the road, i 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,i landed my 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
me to accept the gig, the Milano family had to uproot and move 3,000 miles to Hollywood. Now, i have only just finished "charmed" and going to star in a new show "All Fall Down"
