Danica McKellar, known for her role as Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years', took a significant break from Hollywood to earn a mathematics degree at UCLA. This break allowed her to discover her identity beyond acting. Upon returning, she faced challenges catching up in the industry and worked on various shows like 'The West Wing' and 'The Big Bang Theory'. Recently, she expressed excitement about her new holiday movie, 'A Cinderella Christmas Ball', where she earned her first writing credit, marking a fulfilling achievement in her career.
I needed to find out who else I was. For me, the way I could find out was just to do something else and really exercise my brain.
Even though I knew I had to take a break from acting during college, I was still worried about it. What if I can't go back to acting?
This is a wonderful experience for me. It's been amazing because I got to write the script with someone else, but it's the first time my name is on the script.
I was doing all these independent films that weren't very good. Then I started getting some traction.
