Here’s some famous celebrities and what they have been doing since they dropped off our radar…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Danica McKellar<\/strong>, who played Winnie in\u00c2\u00a0The Wonder Years<\/em>, turned into a hot math geek who now teaches teenage girls that\u00c2\u00a0math is cool<\/a> (and still does some acting on the side)<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
Mayim Bialik<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c once better known as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Blossom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c has a PhD in neuroscience and is writing a book on parenting. (Though she still does some acting as well; you might have seen her on the season finale of\u00c2\u00a0The Big Bang Theory<\/em>.)<\/li>\n
Charlie Korsmo<\/strong>, who I remember best as the kid in\u00c2\u00a0Hook<\/em>, is a law professor at Brooklyn Law School and teaches torts, corporate law, and land use.<\/li>\n
