Actress Danica McKellar became a household name for her role as Winnie Cooper on the beloved sitcom “The Wonder Years.” The ABC series was a hit when it premiered in 1988. The show, which ran for six seasons, also made child stars of its young actors, including series lead Fred Savage and McKellar.
Now, the 48-year-old actress shares how she stayed grounded despite being famous at 13 years old, attributing her humbleness to her parent’s influence. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the actress explained, “I’m very fortunate to have two parents who never overemphasized the importance of Hollywood or my acting career.” She continued, “It was just a fun, cool thing that I did. But family, health, and education all came first. Always. Never a question about that.”
