After the end of the famous TV project, her name is less and less visible in the credits of the films and serials, but the tabloids still watch out for the actress, because she has already become a mother twice, released a clothing line, and is also actively involved in charitable activities.

From the cradle on stage

Alice Milano (photo above) is a native of New York. It was there, not far from the famous Bronx area, she was born on December 19, 1972. In the family of the future actress reigned a creative atmosphere. Her father Thomas was not only a famous sailor, but also a music editor. It was his Italian roots that Alice owes her charming appearance, which conquered millions of hearts around the world. Her mother Lin was engaged in the design of clothes, and when her daughter became famous, she changed her skills and became her manager. In Milano's family there is not one child, the actress grew up with brother Cory, who is older than her for as long as ten years. Alice with her parents and brother lived for a long time in Staten Island and was a parishioner of the local Catholic church. But even at a very young age the girl decided to link her future with the stage. The reason for this was Broadway and his play "Annie", who won the heart of the future actress. Although her parents were originally against the choice of her daughter, but she insisted on her own and at the age of eight she made her debut on the theatrical stage in the production of The Tony Award. The young talent was appreciated, and afterwards Milano played in several other productions, such as "Jane Eyre", "Tender Proposal" and others.

First successes on TV

A bright and promising girl was noticed in Hollywood. When she was eleven years old, Alice Milano received her first role on television. She became Samantha Michelli in the sitcom "Who's the Boss?" And quickly became famous. Thanks to her new successful work, the young actress and her family left the cold New York and settled in warm Los Angeles. And already in 1985 she inherited the role of the daughter of the hero Arnold Schwarzenegger in the militant "Commando", which further promoted the girl on the way to world fame. However, after this film, the actress increasingly got roles in not such large-scale projects as "Canterville Ghost" and "Dancing Before Dawn." In 1989, Alice Milano decided to try herself in a new role and recorded her first solo album as a singer. True, he was published in Japan, where he became incredibly popular. For three years she released four more albums, one of which even got the status of platinum. In 1992, Milano again appeared on the big screen, though, in a small role, in the drama "Swim with the flow."

Movies for adults

Shooting in the series "Who's the Boss?" Came to an end, and the actress had to re-assert herself, because the audience is already accustomed to the image of a puppet girl who for many years embodied on screen Alice Milano. Biography of the actress received a new round in 1993, when a young American woman with Italian roots made herself silicone breasts and began to star in films with the label "over 18". The most famous of them are "Vampire Embrace", "Mortal Sins", "Poison Ivy 2: Lily." In the interval, Alice appeared in the same adaptation of the computer game "Double Dragon".

Profession - witch

An interesting fact: originally the younger Halliwell was supposed to play another actress, but after the pilot series she was kicked out of the project and took Alice. "Charmed" with deafening success went from 1998 to 2006, winning the love of fans around the globe. In the intervals between the shootings in the series, the actress did not forget about the films, among which we can mention the comedy of 2002 "The Cat in the Sack," but there were no significant achievements in this field at that time.
