Early life and career

Milano, a movie music editor and a well-known boating enthusiast. She has a younger brother, Cory (born in 1982 (28 years ago)), who is also an actor, but has more recently started a band, called Chloroform Days, in which he is the lead singer. Milano was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Staten Island and was raised Roman Catholic. She began her career at the age of 8 when she won a part in an open audition for a national tour of Annie. She appeared in television commercials and off-Broadway productions. At the age of eleven, she earned her first major role in the TV show Who's the Boss?, alongside fellow Brooklyn native Tony Danza, Judith Light, Danny Pintauro, and Katherine Helmond. She starred as Samantha Micelli, the daughter of Danza's character, Tony Micelli. When Milano won the role, her family relocated from Staten Island to Hollywood.

In 1985 (25 years ago), Milano was in the movie Commando as Jenny Matrix who was John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger)'s daughter. A few years later this movie was shown in Japan prompting a producer to offer Alyssa a five album record deal.

Later career

At the beginning of her career, Milano was known mainly for her role on Who's the Boss? (1984-1992). She tried to shed her "nice girl" image (wallpaper) by appearing in several movies targeted at adults, such as Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story (1992, 18 years ago), Embrace of the Vampire (1994, 16 years ago), Confessions of a Sorority Girl (1994, 16 years ago), Deadly Sins (1995, 15 years ago), and Poison Ivy II: Lily (1995, 15 years ago), where she starred opposite Johnathon Schaech and Xander Berkeley.

She gained more mainstream success in TV as Jennifer Mancini on Melrose Place (1997-1998), Meg Winston in Spin City, and most notably as Phoebe Halliwell on the eight year run of the popular series Charmed (1998-2006). Both Milano and close friend Holly Marie Combs became producers for Charmed during the show's fifth season.

She played the role of Eva Savelot in MCI's 1-800-COLLECT commercials. In 2007 (3 years ago), Milano filmed a pilot for ABC entitled Reinventing the Wheelers. The series was not picked up for the 2007-2008 season, but instead, Milano appeared in ten episodes of the show My Name Is Earl. This reunited her with Jaime Pressly (13 walls) who guest starred in the two part Season 5 premiere of Charmed, "A Witch's Tail". She is set to reappear in the fourth season of the show, reprising her role as Billie Cunningham.

On stage, she starred in Tender Offer, a one-act play written by Wendy Wasserstein, All Night Long by American playwright John O'Keefe, and the first American musical adaptation of Jane Eyre. She returned to the theater in 1991 (19 years ago), when she starred in and produced a Los Angeles production of Butterflies Are Free. Milano also appeared in the Josie music video by Blink-182, and in 2007 (3 years ago), Milano began appearing on television again in commercials for Veet and SheerCover.

Milano was part of TBS' special coverage installment Hot Corner for the 2007 (3 years ago) Major League Baseball playoffs. She reported at Fenway Park during the ALDS between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. She also reported at Chase Field during the NLCS between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

Milano starred in the 2008 (2 years ago) movie Pathology alongside Milo Ventimiglia (4 walls), and was then cast in a television sitcom, Single with Parents, which was pulled prior to production.

On Mar. 20, 2009 (last year), it was announced that Milano would provide a voice for the upcoming "Ghostbusters: The Video Game", which was the role played by Sigourney Weaver in the films.

On Mar. 24, 2009 (last year), her book on her baseball fandom, Safe At Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic, was released. Milano has signed on to star in and produce My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, a romantic comedy in which she plays a woman with a relationship dilemma.

Personal life

Milano has dyslexia. In an interview in 2004 (6 years ago), Milano explained how she deals with the disorder:

"I've stumbled over words while reading from teleprompters. Sir John Gielgud, whom I worked with on The Canterville Ghost years ago, gave me great advice. When I asked how he memorized his monologues, he said, 'I write them down.' I use that method to this day. It not only familiarizes me with the words, it makes them my own."

Alyssa Milano at MLB.com All-Star Party, Roseland Ballroom in NYC 7-13-2008Milano is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers and writes a baseball blog on the Major League Baseball's website. In 2007 (3 years ago), Milano launched her signature "Touch" line of team apparel for female baseball fans, selling it through her blog and Major League Baseball's website. It also became available in 2009 (last year) through a boutique store located in Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. She has an interest in the Los Angeles Kings, a National Hockey League team and is involved with a related clothing line. In 2008 (2 years ago), she expanded that to NFL football, as a New York Giants fan. Since Milano is in the same hometown as NFL Network's Rich Eisen (Staten Island), she revealed some of her family's connections with the New York Giants while she picked the winners of NFL games for week 7 of 2008 (2 years ago).

Milano has eight tattoos on her body, including one on each wrist and ankle, shoulder, neck, hip, and lower back. Milano is a vegetarian and appears in numerous PETA advertising campaigns for vegetarianism. Outside of acting, her hobbies include photography, humanitarian work, and spending time with her three dogs and eight horses. Milano has commented on her love for animals, and in a 2009 (last year) interview discussed one of her dogs, a German shepherd called Pinto, who had died at the age of 14; he had worked with the LAPD dogs and Milano had owned him for 10 years.

In 2005 (5 years ago), she was ranked #5 in the "50 Cutest Child Stars — All Grown Up".

Milano was briefly married to singer-songwriter Cinjun Tate in 1999; they were divorced later that same year. She briefly dated Justin Timberlake (9 walls) in 2002 (8 years ago). She has dated a number of professional athletes, including Brad Penny, Carl Pavano, Barry Zito and Russell Martin. She is currently engaged to CAA agent David Bugliari; the couple became engaged on Dec. 18, 2008 (2 years ago), after more than a year of dating. No wedding date is yet set.

Philanthropy

Milano was appointed Founding Ambassador for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases to which she donated $250,000. The Global Network is an alliance formed to advocate and mobilize resources in the fight to control neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Milano will work to raise awareness of NTDs by educating the mainstream media and general public of the plight faced by the one billion people who are afflicted by NTDs, and the importance in controlling and preventing this global health crisis.

Milano is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the United States. She traveled to India, as well as Angola, to work with UNICEF field officers there. In the fall of 2004 (6 years ago), she participated in UNICEF's "Trick or Treat" campaign as an official spokesperson. She raised approximately $50,000 for South African women and children with AIDS by selling her own and a school's photo (wallpaper) work. In support of PETA, she appeared in an advertisement for them, advocating vegetarianism, in a dress made entirely of vegetables.

Corey Haim Remembered By Alyssa Milano, Ashton Kutcher, More MTV News - 8 days ago
'My thoughts go out to Corey's family and friends today,' Christina Applegate tweets.By Jocelyn Vena Corey Haim in 1986 Photo: Hulton Archive/ Getty Images After news spread that iconic '80s actor Corey Haim was found dead Wednesday (March 10), Haim's friends and colleagues took time to pay their final respects. While longtime pal Corey Feldman released a statement to MTV News, Alyssa Milano hit Twitter with her reaction. " Just woke up to the sad, sad news that Corey Haim passed away," tweeted Milano, who dated Haim when they were both teenagers. "RIP sweet boy." Comedian Michael Showalter kept his tweet simple, writing, "Damn. RIP Corey." Christina Applegate added: "My thoughts go out to Corey's family and friends today. So sad." Kevin Smith fondly remembered Haim for his classic films, tweeting, "Lost Boy goes home: Corey Haim, dead at 38. G'bye, LUCAS. You gave hope to the weird&unlikely." Ashton Kutcher tweeted, "Rip Corey Haim 'Childhood hero.' " Fellow '80s actor Ralph Macchio wrote, "Always so sad and disturbing when the addiction and demons prevail. RIP Corey Haim." Todd Bridges, who has also battled drug addiction after coming to fame as a child star in the '80s, released a lengthy statement about Haim's passing: "Corey Haim was a good friend of mine and he will be missed. Too many people are dying way too young and it's sad because of the loved ones who are left behind to understand what happened and to feel the loss. I hope he's in a better place. I will always love my Brother, and I will never judge him. I understand his pain, but I also know now there is a way out. I hope anyone who is dealing with the same stuff gets out before it's too late. Don't let the death of others fool you into thinking that it cannot happen to you. If you play with fire, you will get burned." Leif Garrett, who worked with Haim in "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star," also released a statement: "This just goes to show that whether it's street drugs or a prescription from the doctor, that all drugs are dangerous — as we saw with my friend, Heath, as well. No matter what form, it's not to be taken lightly. Some people are lucky enough to finish the race and others crash and burn. I do not wish this horrible disease of addiction on anybody. I send all my condolences and love to Corey's family. May he rest in peace." Related Videos Remembering Corey Haim Related Photos Corey Haim: A Life In Photos

Alyssa Milano and Christina Applegate Join Hall Pass About.com Hollywood Movies - 18 days ago
The cast of Bobby and Peter Farrelly's 10th movie just keeps growing and growing. The latest actors to pick up a pass for the Farrelly Bros comedy are Christina Applegate, Alyssa Milano, and Vanessa Angel, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The threesome join Amanda Bynes, Stephen Merchant, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Larry Campbell, J.B. Smoove, and Owen Wilson in the New Line production. Hall Pass, with an estimated budget of $40 million, began filming last week. Production is expected to wrap up in April. The romantic comedy written by the Farrellys has nothing to do with school and everything to do with extramarital affairs. In the film, two wives give their husbands 'hall passes' which allow the men freedom to have affairs. I'm guessing hilarity will then ensue as the men venture outside their marriages looking for sex. In other news, the Farrellys are still attached as producers, writers, and directors of a Three Stooges movie. That film is expected to begin shooting later this year with Benicio Del Toro playing Moe and Sean Penn (who left and rejoined the project) playing Larry.

Late 'Growing Pains' actor's friends and colleagues react to the news of his death.By Josh Wigler Andrew Koenig Photo: Zuma Red West Photos The news that "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig was found dead in Vancouver prompted a flurry of condolences last night from the actor's friends and contemporaries, including fellow '80s child star Alyssa Milano and "Star Trek" icons William Shatner, Wil Wheaton and LeVar Burton. On Friday (February 26), the outpouring of support continued from Koenig's friends within the entertainment industry. "Today is a sad day," Koenig's "Growing Pains" co-star Tracey Gold told Us Weekly. "My heart is broken for Andrew's family. I have such great memories of Andrew and our time together on 'Growing Pains.' " On "Growing Pains," Koenig played Richard "Boner" Stabone, the best friend of the self-assured Mike Seaver, played by actor Kirk Cameron, who talked with People.com about his friend's death. "It is with great sorrow to hear about the final outcome of the search for my old friend Andrew. I hope everyone will be sensitive to the Koenigs and give the family some private time to reflect and to grieve the loss of their beloved son. At a time like this, we all are reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination. My prayers will continue to be with Andrew's family." Several comedians, including Sarah Silverman, also expressed their sadness over the news. "My heart is heavy for the Koenig family," she wrote on Twitter. "I'm really sad about Andrew Koenig," said comedian and former "Singled Out" host Chris Hardwick. "He was the sweetest, nicest guy. I feel kind of hollow on the inside at the moment." Other actors, like Danny Masterson, recalled their memories of Koenig. "Terrible about Andrew Koenig," he wrote. "Did a film [with] him in '95 called Family Values. He was a great dude. Very smart. Very cool. Very funny." Jimmy Pardo, the host of the popular comedy podcast Never Not Funny and brother-in-law to Koenig, issued the following statement on his Web site: "Andrew Koenig was our video producer, our cameraman and our editor. He was our collaborator on mic and off. He was also our brother and our friend. Just as he did with his work as an actor and an activist, he touched countless lives by gracing us with his presence on Never Not Funny, and now we all feel the weight of his absence. The Andrew we will remember and celebrate is the Andrew we saw every week at the studio: the kind and caring vegan, the videographic wizard, and most of all, the gifted performer with a passion for comedy who laughed at us and made us laugh. We will miss him always."

'Growing Pains' Actor Andrew Koenig Found Dead MTV News - 21 days ago
His body was found in a Vancouver park on Thursday afternoon, according to CNN.By Larry Carroll Andrew Koenig Photo: IMDB More than a week after "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig went missing, his body has been found in Vancouver, CNN is reporting. An unnamed source, who reportedly spoke to Koenig's father, told CNN that the body found in Vancouver's Stanley Park on Thursday (February 25) at around noon is the 41-year-old. A news conference is expected for later Thursday, and various reports are saying that his parents — including "Star Trek" icon Walter Koenig — may attend. Fans, media and authorities alike had all come together over the last week in search of Koenig, who vanished on Valentine's Day and then missed a flight home to Los Angeles two days later. Reports later leaked that Vancouver police classified the actor as being "despondent" upon his disappearance, that he had suffered from depression, and had mailed a letter to his father before vanishing that gave the family cause for concern. As friends and family feared the worst, his Hollywood peers, including Alyssa Milano, Kevin Smith, Alyson Hannigan and Sarah Silverman, all used Twitter to voice concern and ask for help locating the actor. Joshua Andrew Koenig was born August 17, 1968, and worked as an actor, film director, editor and writer. He was best known for playing troublemaking teen Richard "Boner" Stabone on the ABC sitcom "Growing Pains," starring Kirk Cameron — who sent out his own desperate plea for Koenig's safe reappearance recently. In the years since the hit sitcom went off the air, Koenig had a small role on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," voiced the Joker in a fan film called "Batman: Dead End" and wrote and directed the 2004 short film "Woman in a Green Dress." If the reports are true, Koenig's last professional work is believed to be alongside "Twilight" star Jackson Rathbone in the experimental indie film "DaZe: Vol. Too - NonSeNse."

Drew Barrymore Reunites With The Children Of The World For Charity Look To The Stars - 21 days ago
Written by Tim Saunders Twenty-five years ago, a group of children made history by getting together to record their own version of We Are The World. On Friday, the original kids — including Drew Barrymore, Fergie and Alyssa Milano — will reunite for a special DVD/Blu-Ray release of the Children Of The World Project. The original singers will come together at the Sheraton Delfina Hotel in Santa Monica for the taping to raise money once again for charity. Where the original proceeds went to Africa famine relief, the new recording will benefit kids in Haiti. Nominated for a Grammy Award in 1985, the Children Of The World Project was the brainchild of Sonny Melendrez, and caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who penned the original song with Lionel Richie. “After several weeks and with the help of countless volunteers, including my friend and entertainment professional, Roger Neal, we had auditioned over 1500 children in various locations throughout Southern California,” said Melendrez. "Every effort was made to make each child, ages 5 to 17, feel special about what and why they were auditioning. Everyone was presented a certificate and t-shirt commemorating their participation. “Every note was also filmed for a video of the song. I couldn’t stop thinking about the 1400+ kids who had not made the group and suggested that part of the video include them all. It was agreed we finished our filming at LA’s Griffith Park where every child in the world imaginable was represented by hundreds of young singers including those who where blind, deaf, or otherwise handicapped. We wanted to show that when it comes to giving, there are no barriers. Everyone can participate.” To find out more about the project, visit the official website or the official Facebook page.

Alyssa Milano Launches Twitter Charity Challenge For Haiti Look To The Stars - 62 days ago
Written by Tim Saunders Alyssa Milano has donated $50,000 to UNICEF to aid in the relief of Haiti earthquake victims, and she is challenging corporations to match or better it. “Last night, as I sat in the comfort of my living room, watching the news and obsessively checking my Twitter homepage for the latest developments, I felt completely helpless,” she wrote in the Huffington Post. "I cried, and then I did the only thing I could do...I wrote a check to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for $50,000. But I woke up this morning feeling that this wasn’t enough. As I sat in my bed trying to brainstorm how to raise more money... “I challenge any corporation to match my $50,000 donation to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. 100% of every dollar will go directly to supplies that include tarpaulins, water-purification tablets, oral rehydration salts, family water kits, medical supplies, medical kits, food, shelter, and protection.” You can follow Milano’s Tweets here.

Alyssa Milano Raises Money For Fresh Water From Home Look To The Stars - 63 days ago
Written by Catrina K. Sally Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace are all internet tools celebrities use to reach their international fan base. The internet has proven to be an excellent and efficient social marketing tool. With proper usage, ardent fans can follow their favorite celebrity’s every move. While making stars more accessible, the Web has expanded their ability to push philanthropic and humane issues. In early December, Alyssa Milano used her celebrity power to aid charity:water. The international organization provides clean drinking water to communities in developing nations. Instead of requesting gifts for her 37th birthday, Milano requested that friends, family, and fans, donate money to fund several clean water projects. The online fundraiser raised over 1,400 donations totaling $92,000. As we enter a new decade, it may soon become the norm where celebrities raise money and bring awareness to causes all from the comfort of their personal computers.

Wyclef Jean Raises $1 Million In Aid For Haiti MTV News - 63 days ago
Yele Haiti has gotten more than 200,000 text donations since Tuesday's earthquake.By Gil Kaufman Wyclef Jean Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images So far, Wyclef Jean's nonprofit organization, Yele Haiti, has raised over $1 million for the victims of Tuesday's devastating earthquake from mobile donations alone. With a series of urgent tweets, an appearance on CNN and the help of his famous friends the singer has mobilized a massive effort on behalf of his homeland, imploring followers to text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5 to the effort. According to Albe Angel, CEO of Miami-based Give on the Go, the mobile communications company working with Yele Haiti to coordinate donations, the organization has raised over $1 million for relief efforts since the earthquake. Yele's goal is to up that figure to $1 million a day as part of the SMS fundraising drive. "Since the disaster occurred around 5 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday and [by] midnight [Wednesday] we cleared $1 million," said Angel, whose company provides the technology that allows mobile users to make an automatic $5 donation. Give on the Go has announced that 100 percent of the donations raised will go directly to Yele Haiti. More than 200,000 people have donated to the cause, and Angel said he thinks it's possible that the $1 million per day goal could be reached, given the volume of donations that have been coming in. "These types of donations really were spawned by the [2004] tsunami relief effort, and the $1 million that Yele has raised already is a watershed event." Wyclef is not the only celebrity who has stepped up to aid the cause. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation, founded by Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt, has pledged $1 million to the emergency medical operations of Doctors Without Borders. "It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades," Jolie said in a statement on Wednesday. Relief efforts have spawned Facebook and Twitter users to take action, and a number of other celebrities have joined in the fight to send urgently needed supplies to the impoverished Caribbean nation, including Alyssa Milano, Olivia Wilde, LL Cool J, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore and Joel and Benji Madden. On Thursday, President Obama pledged $100 million in aid from the U.S. The United Nations also announced that $10 million would go to relief efforts in Haiti, while the World Bank pledged $100 million.
