Danica Mae McKellar (born January 3, 1975), is an American actress best
known for her role as Winnie Cooper in the television show, The Wonder Years.
Born in La Jolla, California, McKellar and sister Crystal McKellar have
maintained a friendly competition to see who gets more acting jobs. In fact,
when the actress who would play Winnie had to be chosen, the only two
actresses who were still in competition were the McKellar sisters.

Danica and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 8, and soon after,
she and her sister began acting.
McKellar studied at UCLA, majoring in mathematics, and graduated summa cum
laude in 1998. She coauthored a scientific paper1 which appeared in a peer-reviewed
physics journal. Referring to the mathematical abilities of McKellar and her
fellow student Brandy Winn, one of her math teachers, Professor Lincoln
Chayes, was quoted in the New York Times2 as saying, "I thought that the two
were really, really first rate". McKellar uniquely even provides free online
math tutoring for her fans at her official internet website.
Since then, as well as several guest roles in television series (including
one with former co-star Fred Savage on "Working"), she has written and
directed two short films. She has returned to regular television with a role
in The West Wing.
She appears in lingerie for a pictorial for the July 2005 edition of Stuff
Magazine. |
