Beauty and brains
Everyone knows Danica McKellar is a beauty, but she’s smart too — making her a great role model for young girls everywhere.
A summa cum laude graduate of UCLA, McKellar concurrently earned her undergraduate degree in mathematics while participating in original research. Her research has been featured in professional journals and other publications. She also often appears around the country as a speaker on mathematics education.
McKellar is a three-time New York Times bestselling author with her books, Math Doesn’t Suck, Kiss My Math and Hot X: Algebra Exposed. Her newest book, Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape, was released in August 2012
Danica on screen
Everyone loved McKellar as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, which ran for six seasons on ABC from 1988 to 1993. She then made the transition from child actor to adult actor by playing various roles in different TV series and made-for-TV movies. She returned to regular television in 2002 with a recurring role on The West Wing. And more recently, you may have seen her on How I Met Your Mother.
Danica’s best role these days is as a real-life mother to a son, who will be 3 years old in September.
Danica gave birth without an epidural and it took a day and a half of labor to deliver her son, Draco.
“If I had known it was going to be 36 hours, I’m not sure I would’ve been able to do it,” she told People after the birth.
You can keep up with McKellar on her website, DanicaMcKellar.com. Also follow her on Twitter at @DanicaMcKellar, on Facebook and on Pinterest.
