Hannigan’s first showbiz gig was posing for a Delta ad at age four, and clearly acting was her chosen vocation from the beginning. Ads for McDonald’s, Oreo and Six Flags are among her early acting credits. When Alyson was 11, she moved to Los Angeles with her family in order to help further her career.
However, stardom was slow in coming. Alyson’s film debut came in the 1988 comedy, My Stepmother Is an Alien, playing Dan Aykroyd’s daughter, Jessie Mills. She later had roles on such early-’90s TV fare as Roseanne, Picket Fences, Touched by an Angel, and Almost Home. In 1992, she graduated from North Hollywood High School, and went on to study psychology at California State University.
