Known to the world as Winnie Cooper in ‘The Wonder Years,’ McKellar continued her acting career with films like ‘Inspector Mom,’ ‘Static Shock,’ and ‘Young Justice.’ Though her acting chops in these movies seemed to spell a bright future for her, she gave up her acting for something more academic.
McKellar’s passion for mathematics was so great that she wrote several math books. She even stunned the world by inventing a theorem, which is obviously named after her! Now, if this is not impressive, then what is? Give us one more Hollywood name that can be beautiful, has great acting performance, and can easily add her numbers.
Kate Winslet
Does she need any introduction at all? The entire world came to know Winslet after she nailed the character of the vulnerable-yet-strong Rose in ‘Titanic.’ Her talent and obvious beauty kept the roles coming. An exceptionally gifted actress, Winslet continues to be one of the best actresses in Hollywood even today.
She has delivered several box office hits like ‘Revolutionary Road,’ ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ and ‘Finding Neverland.’ To her credit, she is the world’s youngest actress to receive six Oscar nominations. She's won three out of four important American entertainment awards. Winslet recently had an incredible role in the show "Mare of Easttown."
Tatyana Ali
Ali claimed fame as Will Smith’s young cousin, Ashley. She recurrently appeared on most of the 90s super hit show ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ episodes and was loved by thousands of fans for her portrayal of Ashley Banks from 1990 to 1996. Over the years, she shared her talents in many TV shows, some more successful than others.
She continued to steadily bag roles in soap operas like ‘The Young and The Restless and ‘Jawbreaker.’ What was the one thing that Ali regretted in her career? Not being able to make it as a singer despite having the voice for it.
Marisa Tomei
Very few actors in the 90s had such an innocent face. Still, Tomei’s claim to fame was not her looks but her extraordinary performance as Mona Lisa Vito in the comedy film ‘My Cousin Vinny.’ Tomei’s popularity increased with her repeated appearance as Maggie Lauten in ‘A Different World.’
She has continued to land big roles in hit films like ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ‘The Big Short.’ The actress had never married and has made appearances in commercial hits like ‘Crazy Stupid Love.’ She shows no signs of slowing down, and as far as she is concerned, if Spiderman is around, so will she be.
Monica Lewinsky
It was beyond Monica Lewinsky’s dream to become a famous name when she was working as an intern at the White House in 1998. But, unfortunately, the world knew her because of all her political scandals, more so when her name got dragged into an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with former President Bill Clinton.
Back in 2014, Lewinsky braved up and decided to tell the world her side of the story. She penned an article, ‘Shame and Survival,’ for the prestigious Vanity Fair publication, where she spilled the beans. Currently, the world knows Lewinsky as a motivational speaker and an anti-cyber-bullying activist.
