See What Your Favorite ’80s Sitcom Actresses Are Up To Today!

If you’ve been wondering what your favorite ’80s sitcom actresses are up to today, look no further. We’ve compiled a list of the women we loved, hated, or crushed on back in the day and you won’t believe some of their stories!

Danica McKellar – Then

Before Jimmy Fallon declared her character of Winnie Cooper to be “the coolest girl in any TV show ever,” Danica McKellar was just a kid taking weekend acting classes at the Lee Stratsberg Institute in Los Angeles. She landed her most prominent role on The Wonder Years in 1988, and the show ran until 1993. On the ABC sitcom, McKellar played the love interest of young Fred Savage, and her first kiss was actually on camera. It was exactly as nerve-racking as it sounds!

Danica McKellar – Now

Since leaving The Wonder Years, Danica McKellar has spoken of her struggle to move from being a child actress to an adult actress. She’s been able to find work but mostly in small supporting roles, rarely lasting more than a few seasons. In 2005, McKellar dressed in lingerie for a feature in Stuff magazine, later saying it was an attempt to get “grittier” roles. On top of acting, McKellar has also written four books which encourage middle schooler kids to take an interest in mathematics.

Geena Davis- Then

Geena Davis got her big break back in 1982. She was working as a model when director Sydney Pollack decided to cast her in the role of a soap opera actress for his comedy film Tootsie. She then portrayed Wendy Killian in just two seasons of the short-lived local television sitcom Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill ran from 1983-1984. Throughout the early years of her career, Davis was also featured on episodes of Knight Rider, Riptide, Family Ties, and Remington Steele.

Geena Davis- Now

Through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Geena Davis made a successful transition from television to film, with feature roles in Fletch, The Fly, and Beetlejuice. Davis won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress for her role in 1988’s The Accidental Tourist. Davis disappeared from television in the 1990’s only to return in 2000 for 22 episodes of her self titled show, The Geena Davis Show. In recent years, Davis has appeared in Stuart Little, Commander in Chief, and several low-budget projects.
