On Charmed, Phoebe can see the future. What ability would you want? "I was one of those kids who had dreams they were flying. It was the best feeling in the world." Do you get a lot of fan mail from people who are into witchcraft? "The show does. The religions that held up 50 years ago don't really hold up for the younger kids today. They want something new to believe in." What do you believe in? "I believe in everything. I was raised Catholic, but now I'm more Buddhist. But I don't practice anything specifically." You still have savings from your Who's the Boss? days. Do you play the market? "No. But I want to start. I think I'd get so addicted to it. It'd be horrible." Any IPOs you're bummed you missed? "MP3. I told [a friend] to buy it a while ago. He made $10,000 the first three days he had it." Maybe you should be a stockbroker. "Yeah. [Laughs.] But I'm dyslexic, so I don't know how good that would be!" |
EACH WEEK, Alyssa Milano, 27, casts spells on a new generation of TV viewers as good witch Phoebe on the WB's Charmed (Thursdays, 9 p.m. ET). The actress, best known as Tony Danza's daughter on Who's the Boss?, is glad to have avoided the child-star curse.
