Milano has a female sports apparel line, Touch.
Milano is the daughter of Italian-American parents: Lin, a fashion designer and talent manager, and Thomas M. Milano, a film music editor and boating enthusiast. Milano was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Staten Island, and was raised Roman Catholic. She has a younger brother, Cory (born in 1982), who is also an actor. In a 2003 interview, Milano recalled having had a good childhood, having grown up in a "loving, true family."
Milano began her career at age eight after winning a role in an open audition for a national tour of Annie. She was one of the four picked out of an audition with over 1500 girls. She appeared in television commercials and off-Broadway productions.
At age eleven, she won her first major role in the television show, Who's the Boss?, alongside Tony Danza, Judith Light, Danny Pintauro, and Katherine Helmond. She starred as Samantha Micelli, the daughter of Danza's character. After Milano won the role, she and her father relocated from Staten Island to Hollywood. The rest of the family followed a year later, because her mother was initially unwilling to give up her home life "for a show that wasn't a guarantee." Although born and raised in Brooklyn, Milano had trouble getting this accent, because she worked to lose it to land more roles in the theater, including in a stage adaption of Jane Eyre.
On stage, she starred in Tender Offer, a one-act play written by Wendy Wasserstein, All Night Long by American playwright John O'Keefe, and the first American musical adaptation of Jane Eyre. She returned to the theater in 1991, when she starred in and produced a Los Angeles production of Butterflies Are Free.
In 1985, Milano was in the film Commando as Jenny Matrix, daughter of John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Appearing at age 12 in an R-rated action film, Milano admitted she was sometimes "freaked out" by the weapons on set. A few years later this film was shown in Japan, prompting a producer to offer Milano a five-album record deal.
In the late 1980s, Milano had established a teen idol status, appearing in made-for-television teen films such as Crash Course and Dance 'til Dawn (both 1988). Both projects allowed Alyssa to work alongside close personal friend Brian Bloom. Bloom and his brother Scott Bloom worked with Milano in episodes of Who's the Boss. This working comradere would later expand in 1993 when Alyssa guest starred in Brian's series The Webbers. Alyssa produced a teen workout video in 1988 called Teen Steam and achieved some fame outside the USA with her music career, which lasted until the early 1990s. In 1991, Milano was ready to give up her acting career to pursue an academic career, but she was refused to be released from her contract.
When her role on Who's the Boss ended in 1992, Milano feared having trouble to obtain other roles, aware of the fate of many grown-up child stars in that period. Nevertheless, she was excited when she found out the show was cancelled, being ready "to move on." Milano tried to shed her "nice girl" image by appearing in several films targeted at adults, such as Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story (1993), Embrace of the Vampire (1994), Deadly Sins (1995), and Poison Ivy II: Lily (1996), where she starred opposite Johnathon Schaech and Xander Berkeley.
The transition started in 1992, when Milano auditioned for female lead as a homeless teenager in the independent film Where the Day Takes You. Although the crew was reluctant to assign a former child star, she was given a smaller role as a prostitute in the production.[3] She was noticed by the media, which led her to landing the controversial role of Amy Fisher in the high profile TV movie Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story. Appearing as a vicious, psychotic seductress, Milano was excited to be cast.
In 1996, Milano appeared opposite Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon in the thriller Fear. The actress recalled the role in the film being one of those she "fought for", instead of it being given to her because of her name.
Her performance in Fear led to a starring role in Hugo Pool (1997), her first film released through cinemas since Commando.[3] Despite the milestone, Milano was soon out of work and after a period of six months, she decided to return to television. She portrayed bad girl Jennifer Mancini on Melrose Place (1997–1998), Meg Winston in Spin City, and most notably as Phoebe Halliwell on the eight-year run of the popular hit tv series Charmed (1998–2006). Her role on Melrose Place was offered to the actress by Aaron Spelling himself. The stint garned her new fame and she was named the most successful and popular actress on the primetime soap, alongside Heather Locklear. Milano and close friend Holly Marie Combs became producers for Charmed during the show's fifth season.
She played the role of Eva Savealot in MCI's 1-800-COLLECT commercials. In 2007, Milano filmed a pilot for ABC entitled Reinventing the Wheelers. The series was not picked up for the 2007–2008 season, but instead, Milano appeared in ten episodes of the show My Name Is Earl. This reunited her with Jaime Pressly, who guest-starred in the two-part Season 5 premiere of Charmed, "A Witch's Tail".
Milano's commercial work includes appearing in the "Josie" music video by Blink-182, as well as 2007 television ads for Veet and Sheer Cover.
Milano was part of TBS's special coverage installment Hot Corner for the 2007 Major League Baseball playoffs. She reported at Fenway Park during the ALDS between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. She also reported at Chase Field during the NLCS between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.
Milano starred in the 2008 film Pathology alongside Milo Ventimiglia and was then cast in a television sitcom, Single with Parents, which was pulled prior to production.
On March 20, 2009, it was announced that Milano would provide a voice for the Ghostbusters: The Video Game. In a 2010 interview, she told the press that she had 'a blast' working on the game, although she recalled it being 'odd' having to grunt in a room alone. It was speculated that following the voice over in the video game, she was set to star in Ghostbusters III, although Milano claimed she was never approached.
On March 24, 2009, her book on her baseball fandom, Safe At Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic, was released. Milano has signed on to star in and produce My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, a romantic comedy in which she plays a woman with a relationship dilemma.
Happiness
Alyssa Milano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never had someone to hold
Never had someone to love me
And then you came in my life
Now the stars all shine so bright
Oh I feel like I'm in heaven
I can't believe we're together
And I can't get you out of my mind
Until the end of time
*Happiness is when you're here with me
My heart's filled with joy oh can't you see
Happiness is when you're here with me
My whole world just comes alive
Ihad no reason to feel
That I'd find a love so real
That I'd give my heart so sweetly
I'll always cherish you I swear
Can't you see I'm yours completely
I can't stop thinking about you
My emotion is stronger each day
My life is lonely without you
Don't ever go away
*repeat
So hold me close and believe me
I'm yours only
My love never fade away oh
*repeat
In Alyssa Milano's song Happiness, the lyrics express a sense of loneliness and emptiness before finding true love. The lead singer starts by saying that their world was once empty and cold without someone to hold or love them. However, when their partner came into their life, everything changed. The stars now shine brighter, and they feel like they are in heaven. The lead singer professes their love and willingness to stay together forever.
The chorus highlights the theme of the song- being happy when your partner is there. The lead singer's heart is filled with joy and their whole world comes alive when their loved one is present. They never imagined finding a love so real and sweet, and they swear to always cherish their partner. They can't stop thinking about them as their emotions grow stronger each day, and their life would be lonely without them.
In the final verse, the lead singer urges their partner to hold them close and believe that they are theirs only. Their love will never fade away. The overall message is that true happiness is found in the presence of a loved one who fills your life with joy and love.

My world was empty and cold
I was feeling lost and alone
Never had someone to hold
I had never experienced the comfort of being held
Never had someone to love me
I never felt truly loved before
And then you came in my life
But then you appeared and changed everything
Now the stars all shine so bright
You have brought light and happiness into my life
Oh I feel like I'm in heaven
I am filled with an indescribable happiness
I can't believe we're together
I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that we are together
And I can't get you out of my mind
I am constantly thinking about you
I want you here forever
I wish we could be together forever
Until the end of time
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Happiness is when you're here with me
I am happiest when I'm with you
My heart's filled with joy oh can't you see
You bring me so much happiness and love
My whole world just comes alive
With you in my life, everything feels brighter and more vibrant
I had no reason to feel
Before you came, I felt empty and without purpose
That I'd find a love so real
I never thought I would experience such a genuine and pure love
That I'd give my heart so sweetly
But with you, I can't help but give my heart completely and selflessly
I'll always cherish you I swear
I will always treasure and value you, I promise
Can't you see I'm yours completely
I am fully and entirely devoted to you
I can't stop thinking about you
My thoughts are consumed with you
My emotion is stronger each day
My love and passion for you grows with each passing day
My life is lonely without you
Without you, my life would be empty and sad
Don't ever go away
Please don't leave me, I need you in my life
So hold me close and believe me
Please hold me tight and trust in my love for you
I'm yours only
I belong to you and no one else
My love never fade away oh
My love for you will never fade or wither, oh my love
