Mini biography
Alyssa Milano is the daughter of Italian-American parents Lin, a fashion designer, and Tom, a film music editor. Alyssa was born in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn and grew up in a modest house on Staten Island. One day, her babysitter, who was an aspiring dancer, dragged Alyssa along to a an open audtion for the first national tour of Annie. But it was Alyssa, not the sitter, who beat out 1,500 other wanna be stage actresses to snag a role. So at the tender age of seven, with her mother in tow, Alyssa joined the tour as July, one of the orphans. After 18 months on the road, Alyssa, who had begun to garner a reputation as an energetic and charismatic young actress, left Annie to be featured in off-Broadway productions and television commercials. Then in 1983, at age 10, she landed her breakthrough role on the new sitcom "Who's the Boss?" as Tony Danza's saccharine sweet daughter, Samantha Micelli, a kid whose native Brooklyn accent rivaled her TV dad's. In order for Alyssa to accept the gig, the Milano family had to uproot and move 3,000 miles to Hollywood.

I was watching E! today and I could have swore they said the make-up artists cover 6 tattoos of Alyssa's, but I could swear I've seen more tat's on her on the show...did I miss something?

I was watching the same show, but I know she has at least seven tatoos. They probably didn't know about the other one(s?) either. On another charmed site (I wish I could remember which one) it said that she had at least eight. And I could swear that I have seen more than seven but maybe it's just me. I know she has one below her belly button, one on each wrist, two on her back, one on her ankle, and one on her behind. I thought I saw one on her other ankle and one on her lower back. Just how many does she really have? Can anyone give me a set number? ?
