People Weekly November 18, 1996

The following appeared in the November 18, 1996 issue of People Weekly:

"You look at Alicia and think, 'What a young girl,'" says Scott Kroopf, executive producer of last year's Mr, Holland's Opus, in which Witt played a shy high school student. "Then she starts talking, and you realize what an old soul she is." That's probably because Witt, 21, who plays Cybill's disaffected daughter Zoey, raced through her childhood on the accelerated plan. Schooled at home in Worcester, Mass., Witt began reading at age 2 and recited Shakespeare on TV at 4. At 14, she passed her high school equivalency exam and headed for Hollywood. Last year she played Madonna's lover in Four Rooms. She also began her stint on Cybill-and a second childhood. "Through Zoey, I got to go to a prom. It's fun to see what the life of a normal teenager would be like," Witt says. Still, she leaves her castmates in the dust. "Hey, she's way too smart to play my daughter," says her TV dad Alan Rosenberg. "Which is in no way meant to insult my son."
