Hall Pass ster Alyssa Milano is still a fan favoriete three decades into her career.
Since becoming a child ster in the 1980s, Alyssa Milano has taken on plenty of roles: Model. Producer. Singer. Author. Philanthropist. Entrepreneur. Ask which one she identifies with the most, though, and she’ll pick a role that’s a little meer down-to-earth.
“I always joke that I’m the eternal cousin,” says the 38-year-old, who appears in the new Farrelly Brothers comedy, Hall Pass. That’s how she describes her accessibility to fans, the ones who grew up watching her on long-running series like Who’s The Boss? and Charmed. That friendliness explains in part why she’s still so popular, belonging to Twitter’s elite million-followers club. “People feel like they know me, and I’m approachable,” she says. “That’s a very winning combination to keeping your sanity in [Hollywood].”
But if Milano bears the qualities of a cousin, she’s certainly a hip one — and a busy one too. Last jaar alone, she starred in a Lifetime movie and a short-lived series called Romantically Challenged; did a guest spot on Castle; expanded her successful clothing line (see sidebar, below); and took on her first motion-picture production role for the independent My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, in which she also starred. She’s also fiercely dedicated to charitable work, capping off 2010 the same way she did the jaar before — with an online birthday drive, in which she raised $1,000 for every jaar of her life to build wells in developing African regions.
“I think I’m an overachiever,” Milano laughs. “But I wouldn’t feel fulfilled as a human being if I didn’t contribute to humanity. My career has afforded me a voice strong enough to effect positive change.” door door Sam Machkovech
