Alyssa Milano, an actress, singer, producer, author, and activist, was born in Brooklyn, New York, on December 19, 1972. She stepped into stardom at 7 when her babysitter dragged her to a public audition for the “Annie” national tour.
Fortunately, Alyssa was the one who got the gig out of 1500 girls, not her babysitter. But she left Annie after 18 months of touring as she wanted to appear in off-Broadway shows and tv ads. By this time, she had gained status as a young actress who was enthusiastic and charming.
At 11, Alyssa Milano had her acting debut in the movie Old Enough (1984). Since then, the child star has had an erratic journey in movies and television. In addition, a lengthy run as Samantha Micelli on the well-known ’80s sitcom Who’s The Boss landed her quite a reputation.
Later she returned with her witchy character as Phoebe Halliwell on Charmed, which she portrayed for 8 years. So, with a wealth of movies to enjoy, we’ve made a list of the 10 best Alyssa Milano movies of all time
