Alyssa Milano Remembers Her Totally Awesome '80s Workout Video 'Teen Steam'

When I was a little girl, I probably would have shaved my head if Alyssa Milano had done so. The ‘Who’s the Boss?’ star was my favorite actress, and I alway looked for stories about her in the latest issue of Bop. Well, you know, after I devoured any news about New Kids on the Block.

She made it easy then for me — a chubby pre-teen growing up in Shreveport, Louisiana — to go about losing weight when she released her exercise video, Teen Steam, in 1988. I played my VHS tape every day for the entire summer that I was 12. Between my daily meeting with Alyssa and strict calorie counting, I lost 15 pounds by the time I started seventh grade. In my mind, she and I had become BFFs by Labor Day, which is why — all these years later — I jumped at the chance to interview one of my teen idols.
