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).

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."

In her personal life, she married composer Mike Verta on March 22, 2009, in La Jolla, California; the couple had dated since 2001. 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. On July 16, 2014, she got engaged to her boyfriend Scott Sveslosky, a partner in the Los Angeles legal firm Sheppard Mullin Richter and Hampton.

Whatever Happened to Mara Wilson?

Remember the little girl from movies like Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire? Well here is Mara Wilson then and now, and yeah, she got hot:

At the age of nine, Mara was cast in the lead role in the film adaptation of Roald Dahl's book Matilda (1996). Sadly, during filming, Mara lost her beloved mother to breast cancer but she bravely pushed ahead with the film much to the amazement and admiration of her adult co-stars.

Mara starred in three films over the following three years, the last of which was as the granddaughter of Peter Fonda in the film version of the British children's favorite Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000). Unfortunately, the film did not do well in the box office and also signaled an end to Mara's childhood career as she focused on her school career and just enjoying her teenage years.

In June 2005, Mara graduated from Idyllwild School of Music & Arts and has since gone on to attend New York University where she is studying drama so perhaps the big screen has not seen the last of her!

Whatever Happened to Ross Bagley?

Remember the little kid that played Nicky Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

Currently I’m attending college at California State University Northridge and plan to get my Cinema and Television Arts degree in the spring. I hope to produce films and television after that, but don’t be surprised if you see me creep across your TV screens in the meantime.
