Alyssa Milano in the 1980s

The way Alyssa Milano's career got started is a little creepy. When she was only seven years old, her babysitter took her to audition for a national touring production of 'Annie' without asking for permission from her parents or telling them where she'd gone. Milano got the part, and her mother must have come around to the idea because she spent the next 18 months touring the USA with her daughter.

With that start, Milano quickly became a child star of the 80s. She appeared in her first film in 1984 at the age of 12; a coming-of-age drama called 'Old Enough.' In the same year, she recorded her part as Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter in 'Commando,' although she didn't know too much about the film because of her age! She saw out the decade starring in TV show 'Who's the Boss?', which ran for eight years and 196 episodes.
