TV's Unsung Stars: Alyson Hannigan- She Slays Us
The role: Willow, Buffy's formerly bookish sidekick who is suddenly busting out of her shell- big time.
Age: 24
Hometown: Born in Washington D.C., but raised in Atlanta.
Her first crush: Elroy Jetson from the Jetsons. "He was so cute and I wanted to play with Astro."
Her favorite childhood TV character: "I always watched the Brady Bunch, and I wanted to be Cindy Brady."
On guarding Angel: "I like it when [David Boreanaz] has a shirtless scene... he sits in makeup for an hour with his shirt off getting his tattoo put on, so I always find a reason to be there."
On her own high school days: "I was really depressed during high school. I just sort of wanted to graduate and get out."
Why she relates to Willow: "She's either just like you were in high school or like someone you knew- awkward, shy, and going through the adolescent thing."
Her wish for Willow: "Maybe she'll actually get some this year."
Upcoming project: The movie East Great Falls High, with Natasha Lyonne.
Why she rocks: The slayer's sidekick becomes more of a star every week- cooking up spells, getting hot and heavy with Seth Green and Nicholas Brendon, even wearing leather (so it was a dream sequence- it still counts).
