What Ever Happened to Danica McKellar, Winnie Cooper


Danica McKellar, AKA Winnie Cooper, was famous for her role on The Wonder Years. But where has she been since then? Well, she did do a little acting as an adult. More intersting though, she got a degree in math from UCLA, and has since written several books on the subject: McKellar, Danica; Mary Lynn Blasutta (2008). Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail

McKellar, Danica (2009). Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss

McKellar, Danica (2010). Hot X: Algebra Exposed

McKellar, Danica (2012). Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape

As for acting as an adult, McKellar has admitted the transition from "child actor to adult actor was a little bumpy." Since leaving The Wonder Years, McKellar has had several guest roles in television series (including one with former co-star Fred Savage on Working), and has written and directed two short films. She appeared in two Lifetime TV movies, she briefly returned to regular television with a recurring role in the 2002–03 season of The West Wing.

McKellar appeared in lingerie in the July 2005 edition of Stuff magazine after readers voted her the 1990's star they would most like to see in lingerie. McKellar explained that she agreed to the shoot in part to obtain "grittier roles."

They had their first child, a son named Draco, in 2010, McKellar filed for divorce from Verta in June 2012, with the dissolution becoming final in February 2013.

Zooey Deshanel's High School Photo

Before she coined the term "adorkable" as the "New Girl," Zooey Deschanel was still pretty darn "adorkable." Check out the actress' 1997 junior year high school photo, long before she was walking red carpets and getting nominated for Golden Globes.

And then

What Happened to Mr. Belvedere (Christopher Hewett)?

Christopher Michael Hewett (April 5, 1922 – August 3, 2001) was an English actor and theatre director best known for his role as Lynn Belvedere on the ABC sitcom Mr. Belvedere.

A devout Catholic, Hewitt served as a deacon at St. Victor's church in West Hollywood. During his later years, he suffered from arthritis and diabetes. On August 3, 2001, Hewett died of compilations from diabetes at the age of 79.


After Mr. Belvedere, Hewett starred in 1 episode of "California Dreams" - Mr. Green (1994), as well as one episode of "Ned and Stacey" - Himself (1997)

Trivia

Of English and Irish extraction, Christopher Hewett was raised in England. His mother helped run a plantation in Malaysia, and was an actress herself. He attended Wimbledon College, a prestigious Jesuit school, before serving in the British armed forces.

Although born in England, Christopher started his stage career in Ireland at the age of 7 in a production of "Midsummer Night's Dream."

Confirmed bachelor who never married or sired offspring.

Devoutly Catholic.

Traced his descent (on his Irish side) from Irish political agitator Daniel O'Connell.

Christopher served two years in the Royal Air Force and was discharged at age 18 after a two year stint. He immediately joined the Oxford Repertory Co. where he performed in 104 plays. He also was an air raid warden during WWII. He moved to New York in 1954 and made his Broadway premiere in 1956 with the original cast of "My Fair Lady".

Performed and directed on Broadway from 1955-81. One of the highlights of his stage career was in the original stage production of "My Fair Lady" where he originated the role of Rex Harrison's competing egotistical linguist, "Zoltan Karpathy.".

Ted Lawson (Dick Christie)
There isn't a lot of information oh where he is now, but in 1999 Christie was a screenwriter for the movie Molly starring Elisabeth Shue.


Joan Lawson (Marla Pennington)
I couldn't find any information on her. It seems she didn't do much acting after Small Wonder. She was briefly on the Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. She looked to be in great health. You can see the video clip above.


Jamie Lawson (Jerry Supiran)
According to one rumor, Supiran hates the Small Wonder show and refuses to even talk about it and has moved to New England where he does graphic design for a major food retailer. There are other rumors that he has been a roadie for the band Alice in Chains, was actually Billy Corgan from the rock band Smashing Pumpkins, or that he encountered financial difficulties and now works at a Taco Bell somewhere in California.

But perhaps the most accurate is that he lives in Laughlin, NV, and works at the Tropicana Express as a cook.


Harriet Brindle (Emily Schulman)
At 17, Emily began a career shift away from the cameras. Accumulating experience while working at talent agencies in both New York and Los Angeles, she quickly became a highly respected figure in the commercial industry. In 2008, after 13 years as the head of Acme Talent & Literary's Commercial Division, Emily relocated her department to its current home at Talentworks. Schulman married Derek Webster in 2002. They have two young daughters, Lasarina & Maev.
