Turns out that several news organizations — including E! Entertainment Television, the Associated Press, and The New York Sun — reported that the woman in white was Alyssa Milano.
But we should have known better: Ms. Milano — who did not attend the ceremony or related events that night — would never have worn that dress. She doesn’t need to. She’s a working actress whose track record includes a hit series, “Who’s the Boss,” and a leading role for eight seasons on “Charmed.” She may have peaked early, but careers are long — even in Hollywood. And Ms. DeRosa — who has landed roles such as a stripper on “Reno 911” and a party flasher on “Entourage” — has a long way to go.
