Danica McKellar is known because of her leading role in the 90s hit The Wonder Years' Winnie Cooper. That is a child star Danica McKellar of yesterday; however, today she is a mathematician and an education activist. Though she is still performing in all sorts of TV movies, including many of the Hallmark films, her passion for mathematics marked her identity.
