As the younger sister of Jordan Masterson, and half-brothers Danny Masterson and Christopher Masterson, Alanna grew up surrounded by the entertainment industry, with her brothers starring in popular television shows in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Her performance was well-received, and she was subsequently promoted to a series regular for the fifth season, with her name added to the main credits in the seventh season.
In addition to her work on The Walking Dead, Masterson also appeared in the fourth season of the ABC series Mistresses, taking on a recurring role.
Throughout her career, Masterson has demonstrated her versatility as an actress, taking on a range of roles and projects, and solidifying her place as a talented and dedicated performer in the entertainment industry.
