What is known about Allyce Beasley?
Allyce’s real name is Allyce Tannenberg, but she changed it to Allyce Beasley because an old boy friend thought football player Beasley Reece was tops. Brooklyn born, Allyce wanted to be an actress early on, but there were those who didn’t encourge her. While taking drama class with drama legend Lee Strasberg, she felt demoralized. Strasberg embarrassed her any chance he could and told her she could never be talented. She has had small parts on Taxi and Cheers. While making the Taxi episode she met actor Vincent Schiavelli, who appeared on the Moonlighting episode, “Next Stop Murder” and in 1985 they wed. The couple had one son and divorced in 19**. Glenn Gordon Caron immediately saw her gift during the Moonlighting audition.
