Danica McKellar
Actor
Danica McKellar played Winnie Cooper on the coming-of-age drama The Wonder Years from 1988-93; in the pilot she gave youngster Kevin Arnold (played by Fred Savage) his first kiss. McKellar later attended UCLA and graduated summa cum laude in mathematics before returning to acting. She has since appeared many times in TV shows, including a recurring role in 2003 as Elsie Snuffin on the TV series The West Wing (starring Martin Sheen) and a role as Trudy in the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother (2007, starring Alyson Hannigan).Extra credit: McKellar's first screen kiss with Savage was also the first real-life kiss for both.
