Alyssa Milano: "I Did What I Had to Do to Continue Working" in Hollywood
/ thedrewbarrymoreshow
Thank you for bringing up Ryan White. He has been a role model since both of my parents were diagnosed HIV positive. This was in 1988. I was 7 years old. This was my father was diagnosed. My mother was diagnosed in 1990. I was 9 years old, an day father had just passed away. After my mother was diagnosed in April of 1991, I was sent from NYC to my aunt and uncle (which I am so grateful) to Texas. In the 6th grade, my beautiful science teacher Mrs. Keel asked me to please explain to my peers how HIV was actually transmitted. The reason for this was that students would constantly me if I had HIV, which I didn't. So there I was, 12 years old, discussing how HIV was transmitted. This does not even remotely compare to what Ryan White and his family went through. Sending his family so much love 💘
Please know the world is smarter now, I am a negative gay man who has had 2 long term relationships with positive men. Their status never really bothered me, unfortunately it did them. =(
Wow, I am really sorry you went through that. Also nice work Mrs Keel, couldn't she actually use the opportunity to show the class herself?!
@@kingralphyforever thank you so much for sharing that!
@@nicoeeek.7181 I think she did this because she herself probably didn't know all the facts, and thought hearing from someone that has experienced this first hand, and also a peer could explain it better. Thank you so much for your comment🙂
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
R.I.P. Ryan White (1971-1990). I'm 37 and I remember him and the impact he had on the world. Such a tragic story but very inspiring.
I think it is interesting that it is Faucci that said it was transmitted by kissing.
@@hangtownranger hmmm
I love your comment. I will never forget him. I can picture his smile as I write this. So much stigma, so much hate, so many struggles and he always smiled. We love you Ryan.
Thank you for remembering Ryan White in posting such a nice comment. That was such a crazy time in history and Ryan White was treated so horribly.
I went to school with a kid who was HIV positive due to a transfusion, no one treated him badly, but the kid who ate his boogers got teased.
Can we get Shannen Doherty on please?!?! And all the Charmed questions and all the questions of how she is an amazing, incredibly strong woman ❤️
Shannen Doherty got sabotaged back then. She was painted as being the difficult and bossy one, which affected her career. Watching Charmed again after many years, she really was the true star of the show. Her strength was so believable because that was who she truly was.
@@SL-qu6zh EXACTLY!
Agreed! And not solely for integrity and work ethic…but as a cancer survivor as well. AM is out for accolades, touring & promoting…but her stating “…did what I had to do…” sums it all up.
@@SL-qu6zh Truth is, on-screen, they were all great. Even Phoebe I loved my reservations about the actress notwithstanding. With Shannen's conflict, a full detailed coherent picture of exactly what went on has never really emerged, as with 90210, but Shannen was definitely a problem on many levels and was always going to get fired if she kept on with it, but with the personality clashes , on 90210 you also had Jennie Garth who was alleged to be a **** (including even admitted by herself to some extent) ...and on Charmed, you had Alyssa Milano who was alleged to be possibly even more a **** , with Rose making fresh recent startling comments on that issue. What I'm saying is, the full Shannen situation pros cons and culpability was murky, especially on Charmed. Ultimately almost everyone is replaceable, the show went on in both cases, and both her replacements were at least pretty good. Tiffany was probably great.
I love Shannen!
Drew is so ultra human. Such incredible positivity She extends to all. She wants everyone to feel appreciated and respected. Such a kind woman.
The facial paralysis helps too.
What? Remember when she bizarrely bowed down to a man on her show to show subservience?
@heroinmom153 I understand your view. But Drew shows the same respect for all of her guests. She is equal opportunity subservient. It is her way of hosting with open arms and making each and every guest feel a sense of comfort. And ut is genuinely her empathy that drives her.
@@Spice99857huh? Drew has always spoken out of one side of her mouth. Asymmetry doesn’t always mean facial paralysis. And even if it was - who cares?
I hope that’s true! I just find her involvement in Britney Spears wedding so bizarre - that I think there’s another side to Drew
Awww Drew’s adoration of Alyssa is how women should treat each other always! Just to hear the praise and affirmation is beautiful!
aww, gimme a break..(fingers down throat)
@@KateLicker 🤮all on you👻
Ugh girl bye! No critical thinking. Oh u a woman Im a woman, and you seem deep so let me honor you! Milano is a joke!
Drew fawns over everyone…
@@l.devonclenney2317 so? Lol
I love seeing Drew with a talk show i worked for her on her first directorial debut Whip It in Detroit and seeing how she’s elevated since Whip It she keeps reinventing herself. Keep going Drew!
She did Hollywood, Hollywood did not do Drew! She's better than Oprah so far. Oprah letting Meghan lie & she helped has changed all my admiration for Oprah. What color the baby would be is not a racist statement. Kinda like what color hair, ginger or blk. I love ginger hair, also love darker pigment so u don't get skin cancer as easily, etc. Love Super Soul Sunday so I have to forgive adding fuel to fire of racism. Will loves his bro, yet he has to protect his wife & maybe his dad & grandma, the Queen. Drew would NEVER do that!
@@phyllisirwin5660 i have no idea why you felt the need to reply to me a black man and downplay Oprah under my comment but i like Drew i like Oprah. I do not care what you think.
@@phyllisirwin5660 You described my exact experience!! I'm extremely disappointed by Oprah. Drew has always seemed "down to earth" but now she's shining. Definitely can't say Drew is the next Oprah, that would be insulting. Drew is becoming our ideal Oprah. The relationships she has with her exes speaks volumes about her character. I'm happy she's getting her moment, too!
She is doing so great.💕👍
@@phyllisirwin5660 what a bizarre comment. Maybe walk away from the tv every once in a while.
Drew always brings such humanity to all of her interviews. I grew up watching these two and I’m so happy for both of them.
Alyssa Milano is an old hack now!
@@jnoyes8180 Sure is..so boring...I had more fun making toast this morning 🤣🤣

Drew is doing some Iconic work with her show.
I don't think any Gen X kid forgot about Ryan White. I remember seeing him on the news and in the Weekly Reader. That poor kid.
Awwwww Ryan white....bless his soul.... I remember that kid
Yes so deeply sad i was a young toddler during this era the late Michael Jackson even took him under his wing. And created the phenomenal still, ballad “gone too soon” in his memory and honor...🤍
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 I did not know that, I will check out that song. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@ahh-2-ahh That is a Gen X memory right there.
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 Just watched that video, it is very memorable.
4:14 WOW, Winona Ryder beat out the both of them to win the role in Beetlejuice, that says a lot. I wonder who else she beat out.
@@katewithat lol nah. The perfect actress was picked for that role.
Alyssa was the 2 finalists for the Role..Winona or Alyssa…Finally Winona Got the part !
Wynona is the type of actress Tim burton hires for lead, like some kind of pale doll with big eyes, Christina Ricci, Elena Bohan Carter, Eva Green, Alison Loham, Mia Wasinkoska etc.
I love Drew but Winona was THEE IT GIRL of the 90s. Period.
Winona was the top choice for Mary Corleone in Godfather part 3, but she had so many projects that she needed a time out. And Sofia Coppola became Mary Corleone.
The Ryan White story is amazing, thank you for standing up for him!
I love how naturally Drew has aged.
We all naturally age. Love that fact.
Do u mean like, she's let herself age naturally without plastic surgery & fillers unlike 99.9 of Hollywood? Bc yes I agree. She just takes care of her skin & has aged beautifully.
@@rachel9120 yes. She doesn’t look plastic.
Hahaha how naturally you're right hilarious
I am saddened to see that AM is to me almost unrecogniseable with obvious facial augmentation. I've always loved her too. She didn't need all that but it's probably because they see it as the done thing. Older means expired for most actors in Hollywood. I'm 49 and a professioal aesthetician and I do not understand why people succumb to extreme invasive beauty procedures. Drew has always been my poster girl. An eternal breath of fresh air and always original.
I never thought about it, but these two really have had similar experiences in Hollywood, I'm shocked they've never worked together before.
Love this show and Alyssa. I grew up on charmed. Every time I see Alyssa, I’m reminded of my childhood. I used to be a member of her website around 15 years ago and if I remember correctly, she would go live in the chatroom on her site every Thursday and let us ask her questions. She was such a light for me in a very dark time of my life.
Teen Steam
Didn't she sue someone for posting fake nudes of her online about 25 years ago?
I went from absolutely falling in love with Drew’s outfit, to sobbing. I will never forget Ryan White and the horrific battles he faced, all while smiling. He is still such an inspiration and so loved to this day. He always will be. Rest In Peace Ryan. 🙏🏻💜
Gone to soon!
That was awful, and his poor parents. I mean I think it was mainly his dad right, who kind of turned away from him at first, when he found out he was gay? And then realized he was losing him. Apologies if I have that wrong.
Plen122 correct me if I’m wrong but as I remember it he contracted HIV through tainted blood 🩸 in a blood transfusion be he was a hemophiliac? Bette Middler’s song Wind Beneath My Wings was sang at a benefit for Ryan White and to raise money for AIDS research
@@andyp2971 yes I believe so.
@@andyp2971 imagine if social media were around then?? "AIDS is fake" 🙄
I remember watching what Ryan and his family went through. It was incredibly heartbreaking (still is). These 2 ladies were icons to my 80s kid/90s teen self! They really turned out to be great women
"It made my fame make sense to me". Thank you Alyssa Milano for what you did for Ryan White and educating millions of people around the world about HIV. ☆●☆●☆
Its called the Arkansas prison blood scandal. And they poisoned hemophiliacs ON PURPOSE with HIV and hep C. I wish i was making it up... And when Al Gore got caught with a suitcase full of blood he tried claiming to have hemophilia. Follow the 🐰
@@ludachrisduh3728 thank you for enlightening me on this. I had no idea. I noticed there's a documentary made on the subject. I will watch it. Thanks again! ☆●☆●☆
Dan Quayle was the one with the suitcase, actually. The GOP was trying to kill off so many innocent children...
That ain't how Rose McGowan feels about her. Check out the background of Alyssa's husband.
@@lamar9331 Using Alyssa's family (by calling them trash) to get more recognition and hate her for life DOESN'T make her any better.
I'm actually glad that both Alyssa Milano and Michael Jackson were there for that young boy Ryan White, and how they used their fame to help bring awareness for people especially children with HIV ❤️
MJ was a child predator...
These two were everything in the 90s and I was obsessed with both of them!
I remember Ryan White!! I'll never forget him & what his story taught me! Im the same age as these women & absolutely ADORED them both growing up! (I honestly feel like Drew is def one of my Soul Sistas) but I'm so proud of both Alyssa & Drew!! Gorgeous women, BEAUTIFUL HUMANS!! 🙏🙏🙏
You're a halfwit.
@@TedBundysGhost wow, you gathered enough insight into what I am just by reading my one comment?? That's extraordinary! This "halfwit" sends you Love & Light my friend. All the best.
@@lyleyla9275 you think you're "soul sistas" with some celebrity...that's all I need to know to make my assesment of you.
@@TedBundysGhost your "assessments" probably have more to do with you than they do me. But thanks for your input.
@@lyleyla9275 haha, that's why you're insane, you got great deflection skills... Think about it,, you have pretend relationships with people you do not know, simply cause you watch them on tv (along with millions of others, so theres no connection, no matter how much you wish there was)...but keep lying to yourself so you don't ever have to look in a mirror.
Adore Drew so much and she is aging gracefully
👻
Aging gracefully? Ok plastic surgery lol
Aging gracefully is for 60 year olds. It’s not very complimentary for people in their 40’s.
That's not the compliment you might think it is. Lol
Her eyes tho.
I wish Rose McGowan could be on the show too. She's done so much for women and men in the industry ❤
She is incredible. Have you read her memoir?
Yeah she doesn't like Milano though I think Rose felt some were too inauthentic about metoo etc. Rose was stalked and tormented for years it was really hard core. She's a tough broad though for sure.
@@AnnaLVajda Yep. Harvey Weinstein hired ex Israeli secret agents to infiltrate a rape support group, befriend Rose, and report on her. It's no wonder Rose was paranoid.
I would love to see Rose McGowan. I don't care much for Alyssa Milano, I'll pass on her, but Rose, now that would be one worth while interview.
She's essentially blacklisted from Hollywood so unfortunately it's not gonna happen.
Drews Poison Ivy hair was my 90s inspo, it was everything.
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
Blast from the past. Good underated film.

I totally forgot that they both portrayed Amy Fisher! FLASHBACK!!!
Yes Drew portrayed the good Amy and Alyssa the bad Amy . Really is that a surprise?
I almost forgot about those movies. Being close to NYC/long island, that story was all over local tv.
@@leayahia8880 yes...and there was a #3, an Amy Fisher 50-50 ..
@@abbyroadme 2011 I'm sitting at table near beach in Hollywood Fla..I'm reading a copy of Amy Fisher's book...woman walks by in front on boardwalk,...sees title, goes, in NYC/NJ accent... "Amy Fish-ERRRRR ????????? " Maybe she was from Long Is too..
Yes! Flashback!
Drew is a fantastic interviewer and does all her homework to give a level of respect, empathy, and unwavering amount of gratitude to everyone, I love it! Thank you Alyssa for being human with courage to show the world what's up about loving people with Aids! Yes!!
I love these two women 💖I have grown up with them & admired them both & find them to be amazing examples of successful women.
Ryan White and his family stayed at the hotel I worked at in Santa Monica. I was happy the management agreed to host them. It was a lovely stay for them, thrust into the limelight for all the wrong reasons. It was sad when he passed away.
Pleas tell me that SNL does a skit about this show. This is Drew Barrymore being so Drew Barrymore and I love it. How can you not like this woman? She amazing
I met her in 95 and she was the SAME and completely genuine xoxo
They did a snl skit already lol!
Yes Frank... It's so true that she's so Drew. I worked with her before on a show called 2000 Malibu Road and Drew is The Real McCoy!
@@oscabote Did they??? I must look it up now lmao
@@johnmcquilkin Nice!!! She seems genuine, consistent, and friendly. Not many other celebrities can achieve that.
Im so slow it took me a minute to realize they BOTH starred in the first and second Poison Ivy films! Loved that they went down a trip of memory lane❤❤❤😁
For make up users that read this that haven't tried Drew's make up line 'Flower' you NEED to!! I absolutely love it!! It is actually better than most Charlotte Tilbury products in my opinion. I don't know why I haven't heard more hype about the brand ( I love and so does my make up artist neice, we pick up the Flower products to use instead of our expensive version all the time )
Thx for sharing! It's a great thing to do!
Hard pass for me. The blush is awful with very little colour payoff & not worth the $18CAD.
@@SkelzaDawn same with the eyeliner. Barely any color, had to press hard to apply, it was awful, went straight to the trash & back to my higher end go to .
I like her highlighters and bronzers!
Her Illusion powder is amazing. I absolutely love it!
I have always loved this woman. So much depth and compassion. Very moving! Like attracts like; Drew rocks, too.
is it just me or do they not seem to be looking at each other like this isn't even a catfight thing it's like they did this separately and split screen them but they had different eyelines
Because they did exactly that. Virtual interview, split screen, green screens.
Alyssa said something like wish I could be there.
How did I not know this about Alyssa and Ryan White?! Even more respect as a fan for her. 🤘💪🔥🥰👊💥
So incredible!
@Sara Mill please stop
@Sara Mill you’re embarrassing yourself
@Sara Mill what is your goal? What would you like to happen by coming in here and leaving that comment? Other than make delusional accusations.
I bet you have evidence just like Mike Lindell has evidence.
Easily the best interview with Alyssa Milano I have ever seen. Just an amazing clip, thank you for the video.
Watch her interview w Joan Rivers it was so candid
@@jacksonmcnuggets7488 Thank you for the recommendation.
I think it’s the best interview because of Drew. She’s such a light soul and so open. She’s so down to earth!!
This was a totally WILD interview. Talk about 90’s throwback. Milano is hilarious. Her work in Charmed was so well done.
yes, Phoebe was good, I won't take from Milano's presence in that role...
She did a pretty good job on Charmed but the baby talk she did with her voice was annoying
I was obsessed with learning about Ryan White. I mentioned him in my journals in 90s❤️🕊
This is my whole childhood coming full circle. These two were my idols and plastered all over my walls. Love you both sooo much!!
I'm a one man band on youtube. Hope you can enjoy one of my songs.
I love Drews style!!
Drew is refreshingly genuine and warm. there isn't a hint of ingenuity, I hadn't realized until watching a few clips.
I wish you would have brought on Rose McGowan she is such a strong woman with wise words and so much life experiences she is so brave
Yes
But Rose despises Alysa
@@michaelalexics2808 with good reason!
@@jkinzel5979 Shannon despises Alyssa too.
@@michaelalexics2808 with good reason!
WOW! Now that Alyssa is a lot older.. I noticed that she looks *SO MUCH* like her mom.
Who's her mom?
We watched The Ryan White Story in elementary school in the late 80’s and it was traumatizing, I remember it like it was yesterday!
We LIVED IT in *REAL* TIME.
@@rvpstudioscanada3991 For real, U agree!!
Have been battered, abused and they have moved thru this and not let the anger eat them up, like Rose has done. I feel for Rose, because I was stuck in that hatred for many years. Now, I have moved thru it and beyond the hatred and anger and into the helping survivors.
Agreed! I feel like she still needs to heal and maybe talk to someone if she hasn’t already
Alyssa has always been a beautiful person. What a lovely thing she did for her friends. And for the world really
Man!….. 😢 thank you Alyssa Milano for being such an amazing human. I myself am someone who benefits from the Ryan White foundation. You don’t know how much it means to me that you were brave and didn’t let what others thought to dictate your View. Unfortunately people’s perception of what it means to be hiv+ and even undetectable hasn’t changed much and the stigma is still very much so there in my experience living with HIV. Nonetheless again I want to thank you for being on Ryan’s side back when others wouldn’t, it’s hard as an adult I can’t imagine what it would be like as kid or teenager. But you were there when he needed an ally. Thank you 🤍💜🧡
Many, Many PRAYERSNLUV To You🥰🥰💘💘👼👼
Sending positive healing vibes your way, let me know if you want Reiki (free), sending much love to you
Ladies I love you both so much!! I am 44 and have admired you both for so long!!
I love being 44 because I can remember the number 🤓👍😂
Love love love these 2 strong women and to see them on stage at the same time is special.
I'm the same age and grew up in the model industry. I too have been extremely protective of my child! I get it.
Oh my I watched both of them as Amy Fisher & both poison ivy movies. I love them both. Charmed is still my favorite show.
Milano was among the most animate for defunding the police. Take a wild guess who she called when one of the neighbor kids was shooting raccoons with a BB gun. Within minutes of her call to 911, there had to be a half dozen cops cars and a SWAT van surrounding her house.
What’s the point of wasting resources when you just needed a patrol car They sound very undisciplined And immature Defund the police doesn’t mean what you think it does That Koolaide must be so delicious
Thank you for remembering Ryan White, he was on all the shows back in the day!! I believed he travelled with a quilt that was made for the HIV/AIDS cause!! I have thought of him a few times during this Pandemic for some reason!! RIP Ryan

@@stephanietortorici5749 unsure re Holly Combs.Seems mixed messages came and come from that combo..I think maybe Holly is just smart enough to keep her head down and mouth shut and deal with almost anyone, and just keep ringing up the cheques while everyone else tears each other up and gets in trouble around her...lol..up until this vid and the mutual love-in we see with Drew, I only came across one other person who actually knew and worked with her who seemed to talk her up. Rena Sofer from Melrose Place..seems supportive/complimentary on Twitter.

@@zebrastreet9993 hahahaha omg
I remember them both doing poison ivy & feeling a little like I wanted to be them & didn't. It was a little weird at that age. I was such a huge fan. I'm not sure of their exact ages but it was close. I was born in 76. I've followed both since childhood & feel like I know them. I admire them both & want to be like them more fiercely than I did as a kid. I have always felt comfortable in my own skin, sure of who I am, but I can still be inspired & feel connected. I love them more than I did at 12 watching them.
Drew’s show has got to be one of my fav day time talk show!! I try to watch it every day!! She has been in so many movies, done many great things & the ppl she knows …. She brings on the show and let’s them actually have their moment. I don’t know if y’all watch the Kelly Clarkson show , she never lets her guests really speak. Drew has great energy , patience & love for everyone involved! Thank you Drew for a great show!! Please have another season!!
LOVED this interview connection!
Love these 2 women since I was little back in the 80s, and now almost 2022 they dont seem to age. Hope they continue their success and always in good health.
Love Alyssa, I grew up watching charmed and now as an adult, I sometimes watch re-runs of Whos the boss, she’s a great actress Anna great activist.
Same here. I keep thinking of what could have been if their working environment had been better.
I love how Drew stated that roles like Poison Ivy were her choice; she could’ve played the victim in retrospect. I respect how authentic Drew is.
They talk about their Hollywood glory days so much. Talk about today. Your greatness today. Your career today.
I love Alyssa Milano, she's beautiful and timeless.
Its so trippy to watch this show and and see them sitting there like a hologram out of Star Wars
I actually met Alyssa Milano when we were kids. I think we were both 12 or 13 at the time. not so sure. but it was right after the movie Commando, which she was in, came out. Who's the boss? I think had just started early that year. But she was doing these mall tours, going around the country signing autographs, meeting fans. I didn't know she was going to be at the mall, my family and I were there shopping and we come across this open area where they had set up a stage. there was a black curtain behind it. so we couldn't see what was going on as we approached the stage. they had a table set up on the stage and stairs on both sides to allow fans to go up to the table and meet Alyssa. when we got close enough, there was a sign that said "come meet Alyssa Milano star of Who's the Boss and Commando. the event was already over. the fans were gone, a few were still lingering. And there she was sitting behind the table looking bored as hell. she was tapping her fingers on the table. she was waiting until it was time to leave. I remember telling my dad "look, it's the girl from the movie we saw". She must have heard me but she looked up and she had this huge smile on her face. She then started to wave me and my little brother to come over. My brother must have been around 4 at the time. She never stopped smiling. she tried finding more of the 8 x 10 photos but they had run out. there was nothing to sign with as well. no cameras. ugh. But she started asking us questions. where we were from? how old we were? what grades we were in? she was surprised that we were the same age. she asked if I saw Commando and I told her yes and she asked if I like it and I said yes again. then she go up and went around the table and started hugging my brother and pinching his cheeks. she called him "chubby cheeks". which we continued to call him for several more years. anyway, she just stood there talking to us and apologizing for not having anything to sign and then one of the "handlers" started to practically order her around. they needed to leave. they were waiting for her. she looked annoyed by them. she then said she had to leave that it was fun talking. she pinched my brothers cheeks again and then out of nowhere she just hugged me and gave me a little peck on the cheek and said bye. she was still waving bye at us as she disappeared through a maintenance door nearby. to this day I still wish we had at least gotten an autograph from her. it was just our luck. same thing happened several months later at the same mall. Alfonso Ribeiro showed up there, but this time the event was still going, only the lines were huge. he was there mainly because of Silver Spoons and some Pepsi think promotion thing. who would have known that one day he would become Carlton Banks.
I still love that she’s the inspiration looks wise for the little mermaid back in the day 😍

Such a very sad story, he put up a really brave fight not only with his struggles with HIV and AIDS but with the fear mongers, stigmas, and prejudice due to lack of education and narrow minded individuals of the time. If I am not mistaken I believe that Elton John and Princess Diana also did a wonderful tribute to him.
Back when there was no quick fame and few meaningful opportunities, she set goals and made it happen. That is the hard work very lacking in young celebrities today. She is right. Internet made is easier to get there without vision and work ethic.
I somewhat disagree, just be careful not to paint everything in a broad brush like that, like it's either all one way or the other. Every generation has had lazy stars, and hard-working stars.
Now that they revealed the green screen technology for guests I can’t Unsee it! Lolol
That’s why it looked like they wasn’t in the same room.
So true! Iol
@@michseni3604 usually its way better where you cant tell ! idk y this time its looks so bad loll
Wow, they were both the leads on the the first two Poison Ivy films. That is really cool.
Alyssa, such depth- thank you for sharing that pivotal moment where your fame made sense, paired with a higher purpose and responsibility and impact.
What kind of Kool aid have you been drinking? You millennials, etc., all sound the same. Higher purpose? Milano's higher purpose is trying to stay relevant. She has no depth. It's all words and she's as fake as hell. Wake up to these woke "do what I say, not what I do" phonies. JMHO

Her HIV story showed courage back when we really didn't know much about the virus. Over time, we have learned so much more about AIDS. I wonder how a similar gesture early on in the COVID crisis would have played.
Underrated actress. Who's the boss was great I'd love to see a reunion or reboot
What a great perspective about what Britney is going through on her IG. It makes sense. At 18-25 we take lots of pics of ourselves lol.
it really does make so much sense! I actually cried when I watched the new documentary. I can't believe that our justice system left her helpless. That judge is despicable! I'm so happy for her she's free!!!!!!

Some people keep going..keep watching these last generations.. Having said that, do what makes you happy and don't critize others. You or i could be gone by tomorrow!
I never cared for Allyssa, but this really made me respect her more as a person.
👍🏾
Waaw so inspiring 🙏🏽🌙
Alyssa has worked under many directors. 😂😂😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👌
Is that the title of Naya Rivera's book a few years ago???!!! *ps: no criticism! Great interview, Drew!
8:29...she says 'your activism..."it is a-(pause)cross......."......I thought she was about to say.." it is a..crock.."
I WOULD HAVE APPLAUDED HAD SHE DONE THAT!!!!!MAY GOD BLESS ALL WWG1WGA PRAYERSNLUV 😇😇✝️✝️
Lol nah. Just you thinking that.
I am genuinely glad I stumbled on this video.
I love that you have a talk show!!!!
Drew’s memory. Omg!
I didn't know she and Drew were friends, makes sense though.
Either way, it sounds like it was a very superficial friendship.
@@Spice99857 lol sure sure
I'm watching the first minute and is Drew looking at the camera as if it's Alyssa?
Wow. I never knew she did that for Ryan White. How amazing. I was a small child then, but I remember reading old magazine articles about his tragic life.
I so want that book! I saw her on INSTAGRAM showing it!!! Can't wait to read it! Love her!!! And I love Drew!
Drew is so very pretty with her minimal make up.
Drew did Hollywood! Hollywood did do her! Amazing!
WOW! Both of my lifelong ( ET and Firestarter... Who's The Boss and Commando celebrity crushes on the screen at the same time. Be still my beating heart.
finally I am free from my past, now I can be who I want to be!
