The series Charmed was released over 20 years ago, and many people still remember and love it. Overall, it had 8 seasons with the participation of more than 1,500 people. We decided to check and see how the actors who played the leading roles in this project look now, as well as what they are up to.

Phoebe Halliwell — Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano got popular thanks to her role as Phoebe in the series Charmed. However, this was not the actress’s first project. At the age of 10, Milano played a little girl on the sitcom Who’s the Boss?. One year later she took part in staging a Jane Eyre play. Still, it’s the role of Phoebe that helped her gain a huge fan base.

After she finished working on Charmed, Milano took part in a commercial, she also participated in Blink-182’s music video, and in the series Mistresses. In 2013, she joined the Project Runway: All Stars reality show as a host and judge and evaluated participants for the last 5 seasons of the series.
