Alyson Hannigan was born on March 24th, 1974 in Washington D.C.  She has been in the acting field since she was four years old. In her early career she appeared in a medley of commercials for Oreo Cookies, McDonalds and Six Flags Amusement Parks. After meeting with success in her commercial endeavors, the family decided a move to Los Angeles would be necessary in order for Alyson to continue to advance in her career. So when Alyson was eleven, the family moved to the bright lights of Los Angeles, giving her the opportunity to break into film and television. Her first big screen appearance was in My Stepmother is an Alien. She landed the starring role as Dan Aykroyds daughter, Jessie Mills. Alyson was fourteen years old. Her sympathetic portrayal of Jessie eventually earned her additional guest and starring roles in various movie and television productions including Picket Fences, Roseanne, and Touched by an Angel. While she experienced the inevitable setbacks and dry periods associated with her chosen career path, her positive attitude saw her through the difficult times. When Alyson is not busy with work, which isnt very often these days, she enjoys kickboxing, bike riding, surfing the web and her cats and dogs. She also tries to find the time during her busy work schedule to call some of the fans that write to her and chat with them on the Posting Board on the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer web site. Alyson also takes time out of her busy schedule to attend science fiction conventions and charity events to promote her TV show and interact with her growing legion of fans. Alyson has been a source of inspiration to many aspiring actresses, and her character Willow, on the hit TV-show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, showed that it was OK to be into studying, computers, and people of the same sex. She is stunning, intelligent and a fantastic actress.
