Mara Wilson
We are sure everyone would agree with us when we say that Mara Wilson was one of the greatest child stars of her generation. She delivered great performances in projects like A Simple Wish, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Matilda. However, she realized that this was not the career path she wanted to take. Instead of acting, she has started working as a philanthropist and a writer. She even published a memoir about her experience as a young actress! At the moment, she works for the non-profit Publicolor, which aims to give disadvantaged kids access to the arts.
Danica McKellar
The Wonder Years character Winnie Cooper was played by none other than Danica McKellar! You know what they say, art imitates life. The actress is both intelligent and beautiful in real life! In fact, she received her degree from UCLA and graduated summa cum laude. You won’t believe what her passion is – it’s mathematics! Uh-huh, she has even released books and launched a show about the topic. Great job, Danica!
