Sunny Side Up?  (pag. 64, 65)

The kitten has finally got her claws.

Milano (a.k.a. "Samantha Micelli") did her growing up in public on television's Who's the Boss?, sullied her squeaky-clean image playing white-trash temptress Amy Fisher in the made-for-TV movie Casualties of Love: The "Long Island Lolita" Story, starred in "Confessions of a Sorority Girl" for Showtime's 0Rebel Highway series, then stalked the wilder shores of love with Mark Wahlberg last year in James Foley's Fear. For a girl who made her show-business debut playing the relentlessly optimistic title role in a 1980 touring company of Annie, she knows that the road to "Easy Street" is paved with hard work, which is why all of Milano's tomorrows look so promising.

Essaying the title role in Robert Downey, Sr.'s new Hugo Pool, Milano stars Sean Penn and Malcolm McDowell in the saga of a day in the life of a Bel Air pool cleaner, then shifts gears to star in and co-produce Below Utopia with actor/musician Ice T. All the while, she keeps her claws sharpened as the brazen junior vixen on TV's Melrose Place, marking her turf one man at a time as she climbs the corporate ladder and closes in on senior vixen, Heather Locklear.

DETOUR presents the delectable Alyssa Milano 101 - sunny side up.
