Finley Arthur Donoho was born in Los
Angeles on April 26th 2004, weighting 3.5kg |
|
|
Despite being credited in
only one Charmed episode, technically he appeared in
24 episodes. His mother, Holly Marie Combs, was
pregnant with him through all season six. |
|
|
Finley’s home is decorated in
a western ranch style |
|
|
On the set of Charmed Finley
had his own personal trailer (he had to share it
with his nanny though) |
|
|
His mother Holly was seven
months pregnant when she and Finley’s father, David
eloped and wed on Valentine’s Day |
|
|
Finley’s nursery was green
because Holly didn’t want “the typical boy-blue” and
wanted to keep it neutral in case they should have
more kids. |
|
|
Finley arrived by caesarean.
His mother, Holly didn’t want it but the removal of
a tumor she had had at the age of 24 had created a
weak spot and the doctors were afraid that it might
tear with labor and contractions. |
|
|
Since at the time Finley was
born his mother played one of the legendary Charmed
Ones on the TV-show Charmed, he has been called ‘A
little Charmed One’. |
|
|
His mother's pregnancy caused
some problems to Charmed writers and producers. They
had to give another baby to Holly's character, Piper
Halliwell. |
|
|
Just nine days after the cast
wrapped the season 6 finale of Charmed where Holly’s
character Piper had her second son, Holly gave birth
to Finley. |
|
|
Even though he was on Charmed
just once, he's on Charmed set every day with his
mother. |
|
|
Finley wears Charmed-clothes.
This is can be seen for instance, on some of the
photos of the Jadran Lazic photoshoot (made in
2004), where Finley has a promotional photo from the
4th season with “my girls” written under it. |
|
|
On the set of Charmed, his
mother Holly can’t let him out of sight for long as
her co-stars, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan like to
take Finley to the make-up trailer and play with his
hair. They gave him a Mohawk the other day. |
|
|
His parents went out for 2
years before they getting married |
|
|
His parents – Holly and David
– were very lucky to even have him as doctors had
said that it might be very hard for Holly to get
pregnant. |
|
|
When Holly was interviewing
nannies, most assumed that they would just be
staying home with Finley, but his mother surprised
them: they have come with her [to the set of
Charmed] and she leaves at 6am! |
|
|
His mother gained 40 pounds
during the pregnancy |
|
|
Holly has said about Finley:
“Thank God, he's such a good traveler. He adapts so
well. He can pretty much sleep anywhere. I was very,
very worried about him having a normal kind of life
and being comfortable and not carted around
everywhere, but he's so good. We went on location in
Las Vegas with my husband and we'd go out to the
casino and he thinks there's just a lot of people in
the living room. Like, wow, it's kind of loud and
there's a lot of people here today.” |
|
|
On the set of Charmed Finley
is constantly being traded between Combs and
unofficial aunties Milano and Rose McGowan. "Somehow
he always comes back to me with lipstick all over
him," said a smiling Combs later on. "So he's either
going to be very in love with women when he grows
up, or he's going to be gay. He's going to be a
cross-dresser.“ |
|
|
Finley is rumored to have
made his first TV appearance was in Charmed as "Baby
Christopher Halliwell" on episode "Cheaper By The
Coven" (#7.03) on 26 Sept. 2004 |
|
|
Finley has a 2,5 years
younger brother, Riley Edward Donoho, who was also
born on the 26th like Finley, but in October [2006]. |
