Born Melissa Gallo in Lyndhurst on August 19, 1982, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Fumero's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Melissa hasn't done.
