Danica McKellarYou know you would like to talk with her The Wonder Years. It’s OK to be like her.
When the star was on stage at RomaDrama Live!—a three-day convention in Palm Beach, Fl. for fans of Hallmark, Lifetime and GAC Family TV movies—several attendees approached the microphone, hands shaking, to say how much the classic sitcom, and more specifically, McKellar’s character Winnie Cooper, meant to them.
McKellar happily answered all of their questions, even getting up at one point to give one guest a big hug, a moment they had likely envisioned for years.
After the panel, McKellar said that it was an honor to have been a part of such a powerful show. It’s not something I want to take as a given.
