THEN: Before landing her role as Winnie Cooper in the hit TV series "The Wonder Years," Danica McKellar did two episodes of "The Twilight Zone." But it was Winnie, the first love of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage), who made America fall in love with Danica, too. While acting made Danica famous, math was her first love. When "The Wonder Years" ended, McKellar pursued her education and graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a degree in mathematics in 1998.

NOW: Danica McKellar put all those years of hard work at UCLA to good use. Her mission to inspire young girls to fall in love with numbers just like she did resulted in her New York Times best-selling book, "Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail." McKeller seemed to find her real-life Kevin Arnold in 2009, when she married composer Mike Verta in La Jolla, California. The following year, they had their son, Draco. But in June of 2012, McKellar filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. less
