That’s Alyson Hannigan, 36, whom I bet you recognized from her role as Michelle Flaherty in three “American Pie” movies (“Pie” No. 4 may be served in 2012) or it could have been from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” where she played Willow Rosenberg. The actress, who was born in Washington, D.C., began working at age 4 in TV commercials in Atlanta and has a 1½-year-old daughter with her husband, actor Alexis Densiof.

Dear Ken: What child actor was the original voice of Charlie Brown when they began making the “Peanuts” cartoon specials back in the 1960s?

Robbins starred as Alexander, the son of Dagwood and Blondie Bumstead in the 1968 “Blondie” TV series.
