(Text on white) How did it all start? It may sound odd, but the person who started Milanos career was in some way her nany. She was a girl who wanted to be a dancer so she took little Alyssa with her in an audition for the play "Annie". The result was a big surprise: The nany was rejected while Alyssa won the role of July, one of the orfan girls in the play. Her parents gave her their blessing with a bit of a hesitation, truth be told, and then the play and their daughter toured all over America, impressing the audience and the critics with her natural talent. It started. After 18 months of successful shows, Alyssa played in many Broadway shows and she starred in many tv spots. In 1983 and when she was 10, she was chosen for the role of Samantha Micelli, in the show "Whos The Boss?" (a show very famous in Greece), a role which made her widely known to the public. Later, she was a member of the cast in "Melrose Place", she had a lead part in "Commando" next to Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp) and other appearences in shows and movies. Until the day the golden producer of Hollywood Aaron Spelling called her and announced her that he chose her to be in "Charmed", for the role of Phoebe. The role that made her into a superstar. Spelling was totally thrilled by his choice, something that we can see from a recent statement of his: "Milano is the only source of energy in every episode of the show". And we completely agree!

Looking for the only love: Alyssas emotional life has been quite...a ride. In 1992 she fell in love with Scott Wolf, her co star in the movie "Double Dragon" with whom she got engaged a year later. Unfortunately, the engagement was broken off after 13 months because both of them discovered that they were not exactly made for each other. Afterwards, she met Cinjun Tate, the lead singer and guitar player of Remy Zero. Alyssa was so enthusiased with the fact that he sung day and night and she thought of him as a very intellectual person so she married him in January 1st 1999 in New Orleans with bridesmaid her costar in Charmed, Holly M Combs. But happiness did not last long. 10 months after the wedding, Alyssa and the rock star got a divorce. Devastated as she was, she found comfort in Brian Krauses arms, but only for a year, until she gave her heart to another music star, Fred Durst, of Limp Bizkit. But not too long after she left him for Justin Timberlake. Britney Spears was furious with Alyssa and she blamed her for Justin leaving her.Maybe her curses worked since Justin in his turn left Alyssa for the eyes of Cameron Diaz. How is Alyssas love life at the moment? She was with Carl Pavano until recently and before they broke up the star herself could not say that they would last.
