Alyssa Milano, an American actress and activist, was born on December 19, 1972, in Brooklyn, New York. She initiated her professional work in the entertainment sector at a young age, becoming well-regarded for her range and skills throughout her career.

One of Alyssa Milano's key television performances was as Samantha Micelli in the beloved sitcom "Who's the Boss?" (1984-1992). Her depiction of Tony Danza's lively daughter turned her into a familiar figure and garnered critical praise.
