Rule 5 Saturday - Alyson Hannigan - American Willow Pie

Will I ever run out of Gingers?  I hope not.

Before "How I Met Your Mother", Alyson Hannigan was likely best known for her role as role as Willow, the sidekick of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (already used as a Rule 5 subject).  The show ran from 1997 to 2003, and in 2003 the role won her the  "Best Supporting Actress" in the Saturn Awards.

She was born in my current neck of the woods (D.C.), from an Irish father and a Jewish mother, but grew up in my old stomping grounds, Southern California, graduating high school in North Hollywood, and getting an undergraduate degree in psychology at Cal State Northridge.

Her first major film role was "My Mother is an Alien" (1988), and she also starred in both American Pies (1999, 2001).

As noted above, she can currently be found on "How I Met Your Mother", and a new movie, "American Reunion" is expected to come out later this year.
