Phoebe Halliwell is a fictional character from the American television program Charmed, and one of the four leading characters featured during the series' run. The character is primarily portrayed by actress Alyssa Milano, as well as a few other notable actresses during different stages of the character's life. Initially Phoebe begins the series as the youngest child of three sisters. However, at the start of Season Four she becomes the middle of three sisters after the death of her older sister, Prue Halliwell, and the discovery of a previously unknown fourth sister, Paige Matthews. Phoebe has been married three times; to Cole Turner (2002–2003), Dex Lawson (2005) and Coop (2006–Present). In 2007, AOL named her the 7th greatest witch in television history. Alyssa Milano portrayed the character in all but one episode during the series' run, placing her second behind Holly Marie Combs, who appeared in all 179 episodes. The exception was the unaired pilot, in which Phoebe was played by Lori Rom.
Phoebe Halliwell was born in her family manor at 1329 Prescott Street, San Francisco, California on November 2, 1975 to the Charmed Ones' mother Patty Halliwell and mortal Victor Bennett. Phoebe had two older sisters, Prue Halliwell and Piper Halliwell and a younger half-sister Paige Matthews. Phoebe was named after her mother's favorite aunt. She is a Scorpio, like her older sister Prue. Which is probably why they butted heads so much.
