Introduction
Alyson Lee Hannigan is an American actress best known for her long-running performance as Willow Rosenberg on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That led to a role as the female lead in the American Pie movies, where as flautist Michelle Flaherty she raised the profile of band members, and raised other things, by casually mentioning that "one, time, at band camp" she had inserted her flute into her vagina. Despite her petite build, the cutie further turned up the heat by improvising the demand, "Say my name, bitch" in a bedroom scene. Hannigan is one of the ensemble of stars of the current CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, playing Lily Aldrin. In between Buffy and How I Met your mother Alyson appeared in shows such as Veronica Mars and that 70's show.
