Alyssa Milano

In the late 1980s, Alyssa 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 Milano to work alongside close personal friend Brian Bloom. Bloom and his brother Scott Bloom worked with Alyssa Milano in episodes of Who's the Boss. This working comradere would later expand in 1993 when Alyssa Milano guest starred in Brian's series The Webbers. Alyssa Milano 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, Alyssa Milano was ready to give up her acting career to pursue an academic career, but she was refused to be released from her contract.
