Answer: 19 December 1972

Alyssa's parents were Lin and Thomas Milano, a fashion designer and film music editor respectively, so you could say she had artistic ability in her blood. Even if you're a bit unsure of her age, knowing that the first moon landing was in 1969 should have been enough to allow you to make an educated guess.

Answer: Jayne

Jayne was actually Jayne Mansfield's middle name too; she was born Vera Jayne Palmer in 1933 and kept her first husband's surname as her professional name after their divorce. She was one of the "blonde bombshell" school of actresses such as Jean Harlow and Maralyn Monroe, and like them died tragically young, in a car accident in 1967 aged only 34.

Answer: Annie

The story goes that in 1980 Alyssa's babysitter took her to an open audition for the show without telling her parents. When she was successful, from a field of over 1500 hopefuls, her mother (instead of grounding her and sacking the babysitter) accompanied the young Alyssa on an 18-month tour. Alyssa played one of the chorus of cute orphan girls, who torment the head of the orphanage, Miss Hannigan. Miss Hannigan's amusing song "Little Girls" describes how thoroughly she dislikes her charges.

Answer: Who's The Boss?

"Who's the Boss?" was Alyssa's first TV role, in which she played the teenage daughter of the male lead, portrayed by Tony Danza. The show's theme was one of male/female role reversal, based on the plot device of Tony Micelli (Danza), a retired baseball player, being forced through injury to take up a job as housekeeper to a female advertising executive, Angela Bower (Judith Light). The show's successful nine-year run helped to establish Alyssa as a young actress to watch.

Answer: #MeToo

Alyssa Milano is credited with popularising the #MeToo hashtag when she used it in a social media post in October 2017. Although it had first been used by the activist Tarana Burke in 2006, Alyssa's resurrection of it in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal turned it into a global phenomenon. Woman who had been the subject of sexual harassment of any sort were encouraged to post the hashtag, to publicise how widespread such harassment was, without necessarily having to be specific about their own experiences.
