Alyssa
Jayne Milano
is the daughter of Italian-American parents. Lin Milano
her mother is or was a fashion designer, and Tom her father,
is a film music editor. She has a younger brother named
Cory. Alyssa was born into a working class neighborhood
in Brooklyn, NY and grew up in a modest house on Staten
Island. At the age of seven, her babysitter, an aspiring
dancer herself, dragged Alyssa along to a an open audtion
for the first national tour of Annie. Alyssa, not the babysitter,
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 in 1979. 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.
In 1983, at age 10, she landed her
breakthrough role on the new sitcom "Who's
the Boss?" as Tony Danza's sweet streetwise daughter,
Samantha Micelli, a kid whose native Brooklyn accent rivaled
that of 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. Because of this Alyssa really never had a
normal childhood and grew up the pattern child star her
schooling consisted of private tutors. She was definitely
a child actor growning up in hollywood. The 80's TV hit
ran for 8 seasons until finally ending in 1992 when Alyssa
was 20 years old. The first film role soon followed in the
film "Commando" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger
in 1985. She stars next in a more challenging role in the
film "The
Canterville Ghost"
in 1986. Followed was the straight to video film "Speedzone"
in 1989 which basically is Cannonball Run III, at 17 years
old Alyssa plays character "Lurleen".
When Alyssa was on "Who's
the Boss" she enjoyed teen magazine Tiger Beat
super teeny popularity. During this time she recorded several
teen pop albums on a label out of japan. These 5 Music Albums
proved to be very successful in Japan and Europe. Affectionately
known in the US as wuss rock. SEEN
HERE Alyssa at 16 begins dating more in the public eye
and eventually is dating teen heart-throb
Scott Wolf and they were engaged in 1991. The
engagement was broken off and they are no longer seeing
each other as of 1993. Scott
Wolf
goes on to star in "Party of
Five" in 1994 TV Series as Bailey Salinger.
After the "Who's
the Boss" Series ended in 1992 Alyssa (age 20)
showed the world she wasn't a kid anymore by posing nude
in Bikini Magazine in 1993. This tasteful sexy beach layout
was shunned of course by her former TV dad Tony Danza. It
did however spark a new life for child star Alyssa Milano's
career as she was seen in a string of Skin to the Max features.
Followed were a series of erotic innocent school girl gets
naughty flicks including : Embrace
of the Vampire
(1994) as sexy student coed virgin Charlotte Wells, who
is seduced by a vampire of course. In
the sequel of the Poison Ivy II
-Lily Alyssa again appears as the hot scantily clad coed
art student who is seduced by her professor. (1995)
Also "Deadly
Sins" in 1994. Next she is seen in Outer Limits
Episode "Caught in the Act" most watched ever
episode. Sexy student virgin Hanna Valesic is taken over
by a sinister force and her lusty appetite for men becomes
insatiable. These films, define Alyssa as a
sex
symbol throughout the 90's. Despite this she was unable
to land any real movie roles after the "Who's
the Boss" Series ended. She was pretty much stereo
typed as a TV actress by producers and casting directors
alike. However the film Hugo
Pool was an interesting role and a lead role as "Susanne"
in slasher flick Body
Count in 1997 was
disappointing.
Joined the cast of "Melrose Place"
briefly in 1997 (age 25), left in 1998 to join the hugely
successful Arron Spelling show "Charmed"
which is currently in its 8th season on the WB. Originally
Starring Alyssa Milano, Shannen Dorherty and Holly
Marie Combs. Shannen left the show and Rose McGowen
now plays a long lost hottie sister. Charmed Episode
Guide Alyssa appears in Maxim magazine in 1998. The
prelude of the first of many sexy photoshoots to come for
Maxim, FHM, Cosmopolitian, and Stuff magazines. This solidifies
Alyssa as a sex symbol.
In
1999 Alyssa married European
rock band member Cinjun August Tate, Divorced
2002
Holly
Marie Combs her "Charmed" co star is great
freinds with Alyssa and her parents and used to hang out
at their house. Every sunday Alyssa has a family dinner
with her parents or did at one point in her life. Holly
and Alyssa are great freinds today and began co-producing
the show "Charmed" in 2002.
A 27 year old Alyssa
in 1999 marries for the first time on New Years Day to 'Cinjun
August Tate' (musician) of the little-known Euro rock band
"Remy Zero" The two wed January 1, 1999 at a bed-and-breakfast
in outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana, of all places. Those
Marti Gras hangovers are a bitch, Shannen Doherty and Holly
Marie Combs are bridesmaids at Milano's New Year's
Day nuptials (signal for disaster). They maintain a long
distance type marriage for a year or so but finally Cinjun
is caught cheating and Alyssa isn't happy about it. They
are finally divorced in 2001 after 2 years marriage.
In 2000 Alyssa poses for a series
suggestive candies ad's with risque' and controversial photo
layouts. This caused a stir with her TV Commercial sponsors
for FOX and WB, which featured a black-lingerie clad Alyssa
and a goateed man. See Here.
Print ads also feature a medicine cabinet full of condoms,
and a man rubbing perfume on her chest. The "Anywhere You
Dare" campaign was rejected by WB and FOX. Alyssa has very
smartly used her sexuality to her advantage with her assets
clearly at the fore front of most of her projects.
However
this all came to boiling point in a state court settlement
awarding Alyssa $230,000 in a default judgement against
a web designer that allegedly posted nude pictures of her.
The Minnesota native was singled out and held responsible
for the explotation of Alyssa's hot nude body. The defendant
was a no show in court and Alyssa's won the lawsuit by default.
The money was donated to create safesearch dotcom company.

Of course this was only a moral victory for
Alyssa. As the digital wave has gone global. Her photos
are still some of the most popular of all the sexy celebrities.
In recent years Alyssa has matured into her
30's remaining one of the worlds most desirable sex symbols.
Miss Milano's recent confessions in FHM Magazine 2005 privately reveal
a more playful and candid outlook on relationships and sex.
Giggling as she confesses using her vibrator when she needs
to take her self out on a date. Alyssa's bubble bath pleasures
and battery operated orgasmic dreams aren't suprising. She
also reveals that her life has been much better since she
has become known as a sex symbol. Her show "Charmed"
is immensely popular worldwide and season 8
of "Charmed" will go into the finale' 2006.
Alyssa seems to always know what to
say to turn men on and (big mystery) has developed a new love for
the game of baseball. More specifically she has
a particular fondness for Major League Baseball pitchers.
In 2004 she was rumored dating Carl Pavano who in now plays
for the New York Yankees in 2005. At years end
she is engaged to LA
Dodgers MLB pitcher Brad
Penny this year in 2005. Both
pitchers played
for the Florida Marlins in 2004 and apparently Alyssa visited spring training for someone with good hands. At 250 pounds and standing
6' 4" Brad is almost 5 years younger than Alyssa and
was born in Blackwell, Oklahoma. Brad played for the Marlins
from 2000 to 2004 and was traded to LA for the 2005 season.
By the way both pitchers games have gone to shit this season
as Pavano is now on injured reserve and Brad was traded the next season. The Hot love affair with Alyssa Milano was over.
Alyssa in April 2006 finished filming the last "Charmed" series final episode. No news yet what the 34 year old will do next. As you can clealy see in this photo (seen left) she is just as shy and bashful butterfly.
