Milano’s career began when she was just seven thanks to an audition for the play Annie, a stunt arranged by her babysitter but not sanctioned by her parents. But it introduced her to an agent and she’s said her parents supported her and kept her on the straight and narrow. It was Who’s the Boss? that gave Milano a prominent starring role on TV along with a lasting friendship with Danza. For this reason, Milano reflects, “It’s cool to kind of go full circle” back to this impactful role.

As for the original series itself, it is recognized as one of the definitive shows of the ’80s and earned some 40 award nominations, including multiple Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy nominations. It ranked within the top 10 for several years, including a few of its final seasons, not a feat many other shows can claim.
