Alyson Hannigan: We Possess Willow Power
Alyson Hannigan came into the world on March 24th, 1974. Born in Washington D.C. and raised primarily in Atlanta, Alyson began posing for her photographer parents' ads at an early age. It was then that she started acting and appearing in commercials. Companies and products ranging from Six Flags to Oreos to McDonald's had television ads including a young Alyson. You might also remember her Mylanta commercial in the early 1990's.
Television parts rolled in, little by little. When the television series The Torkelsons was revamped into Almost Home, Alyson appeared as Samantha (Sam), best-friend-turned-girlfriend to main character Gregory. She also has an episode of Picket Fences ("To Forgive is Divine") and an episode of Roseanne ("Like, a Job") under her belt.

It was time for steady work. She was a main character on the sadly short-lived show Free Spirit, which dealt with a witch playing nanny to a family. Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered in March 1997 and she's been playing the weekly role of everyone's favorite schoolgirl Willow Rosenberg ever since. Her film career began broadening as well. 1998 offered her as Lucy in Dead Man on Campus, but it was 1999's American Pie that was a great breakthrough film role. Two movies are slated for a 2000 release: Boys and Girls and Beyond City Limits.
Alyson's been known to proclaim her love for things such as the color purple and Beanie Babies. She also has quite a menagerie, including dogs and cats, and loves Dr. Seuss books. She currently resides in L.A. where BtVS films most of the year. She has a | Page: 1
