Best known as America's alluring dream girl from her days as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, Danica McKellar made her breakthrough at the early age of 12. After that show ended, she went on to graduate Summa cum Laude from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics, and even proved a new math theorem that now bears her name. (The Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem)

Since returning to acting, Danica became familiar again to audiences from her year-long turn as the sardonic, dry-witted Elsie Snuffin on The West Wing in its 4th season. Since then, Danica has made guest appearances on shows such as NYPD Blue, Jack & Bobby, Eve, NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and she played a strung-out heroine addict on Lifetime's Strong Medicine.

Danica has been getting her feet wet as a filmmaker with her award winning short film Speechless... (co-starring The Wonder Years pal Dan Lauria), which she wrote, directed, and produced.

Danica has now made her debut lingerie spread in the July 2005 Stuff Magazine, in which she appears on the cover. Her pictures can also be seen on their website. Talk about allure.



Older sister of Crystal McKellar, whom she considers her best friend. Had a 1998 paper published in Britain's "Journal of Physics A: Mathematics & General" with UCLA professor Lincoln Chayes and student Brandy Winn that provided a mathematical proof for a theorem dealing with magnetism in two dimensions. Her Erdos number is, at most, four; her Bacon number, by comparison, is two. Was a member of the Alpha Chi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority at UCLA. She is of Scottish and Portuguese descent. Played the role of "Catherine" in a San Diego production of David Auburn's play "Proof". Catherine is an unlikely mathematical genius who writes a groundbreaking proof at a very young age; McKellar is also an unlikely mathematical genius (she was the only undergraduate invited to speak at Rutgers University's biannual Statistical Mechanics) who wrote a proof at a very young age. Stepsister of Christopher McKellar Jr. and Connor McKellar. Did all her own dancing and lifts in "21 and a Wakeup" with partner Jamie Bayard, of "So You Think You Can Dance" (2005) fame. One of the few people to have both an Erdös number (the number of scientific-paper authors it takes to connect herself to the Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdös) AND a Bacon number (the the degree of separation between her and American actor Kevin Bacon). Many scientists and mathematicians have an Erdös number, and a great many actors have a Bacon number, but relatively few people have both.
