Alyssa Milano: "I Did What I Had to Do to Continue Working" in Hollywood

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 💘

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.

[teracoffin]

Drew is so ultra human. Such incredible positivity She extends to all. She wants everyone to feel appreciated and respected. Such a kind woman.

[TheFlyingKitchen]

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.

[Tambuzi]

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!

[sahej]

The Ryan White story is amazing, thank you for standing up for him!

[JL-znme]

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. 🙏🏻💜

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

[hammerbrad]

These two were everything in the 90s and I was obsessed with both of them!

[nikkia]

Awww Drew’s adoration of Alyssa is how women should treat each other always! Just to hear the praise and affirmation is beautiful!

[AWindy]

Drew is doing some Iconic work with her show.

[btetschner]

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.

[junkboy]

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.

[KayD]

Adore Drew so much and she is aging gracefully

[alcudiababe]

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 ❤️

[johnmcquilkin]

"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. ☆●☆●☆

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.

[MoniquePoncho-Alderete]

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!!

[aaronbroughton]

I never thought about it, but these two really have had similar experiences in Hollywood, I'm shocked they've never worked together before.
