Whether it was a sexy role in “Summer School” (1987), a smart role on “Ally McBeal” (Fox,1997-2000) or a troubled role on “Melrose Place” (Fox 1992-97), earthy blonde beauty Courtney Thorne-Smith delighted fans for almost twenty years, providing her own wit, depth and charm to “good girl” parts, which in lesser hands, could have come across as thankless and bland.

Thorne-Smith was born on Nov. 8, 1967 in San Francisco, CA and later graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, CA. She realized her love of acting while performing in a kindergarten production of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Her father, a computer market researcher, and her mother, a therapist, divorced when she was seven years old, leaving her to live with one or both of them at different stages of her childhood and teenage years. She began her career with the Ensemble Theatre Company in Mill Valley, CA while still a student in high school.

Petite blonde actress Beverley Mitchell shot to stardom with a regular co-starring role as Lucy Camden on The WB's popular family drama "7th Heaven" (1996- ). She played the teenage daughter of a minister in this sometimes quirky and always heartfelt series, one of the network's highest-rated if lowest-hyped properties. Along with the role came legions of young fans who related to her wholesome but imperfect character who was in a hurry to grow up.

A ruggedly handsome actor whose best-known work has been on American TV, Antonio Sabato Jr. came to the US from his native Italy at age 12. He first won notice as a young actor playing the brooding Jagger Cates on the ABC soap opera "General Hospital" (1992-94). Sabato's smoldering good-looks and sexy demeanor turned him into a frequent pin-up and he was the only daytime performer to be voted one of the world's "50 Most Beautiful" by PEOPLE Magazine in 1993.

While many TV series kids tend to be forgotten, their show biz careers over when they reach adulthood, Alyssa Milano was determined to make the leap. Known for her eight years as Samantha Micelli, tomboy-then-young-beauty daughter of Tony Danza on "Who's the Boss?" (ABC, 1984-92), she had been acting since she was seven and went on tour as one of the orphans in the musical "Annie." After additional stage roles and one small feature part (Marisa Silver's "Old Enough," 1984) Milano won the part on the sitcom.

Alicia (pronounced a-LEE-cee-a) Silverstone first gained attention in a popular trilogy of Aerosmith videos ("Cryin'", "Amazing" and "Crazy") and the feature "The Crush" (1993), sort of a "Fatal Attraction" for the Clearasil set. Already strikingly attractive and remarkably self-assured, the then-15-year-old blonde dazzled in her video appearances, playing a burgeoning sexpot with an edge. In "The Crush", Silverstone portrayed an unstable teen in love with an older man (Carey Elwes).
