In one of her more prominent TV performances, she portrayed Amy Fisher in Casualties of Love: The "Long Island Lolita" Story on CBS in 1993. Her few feature film credits include the quirky romantic comedy Hugo Pool and the thriller Below Utopia, starring Ice-T. She joined the cast of Melrose Place on FOX for the 1997-1998 season before moving over to the WB for Charmed, co-starring Shannen Doherty and Holly Marie Combs. She became a producer with Holly Marie Combs on Charmed (Season 4-8)In the late `90s, she released several pop/rock albums, which did quite well in Japan. She also married and divorced rocker August Cinjun Tate from the post-grunge band Remy Zero before embarking on a series of other well-publicized celebrity relationships. Since the popularity of Charmed, she`s appeared in major television ad campaigns and the comedies Kiss the Bride, Buying the Cow, and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. After winning several legal battles involving her nude images on the Internet, Milano helped to launch the index /safesearching.com.
