where is she now? what is she doing with her career? has she married?
I find little to nothing about her parents.-- T. Anthony 09:55, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
I found at least partial substantiation for the claim that she and her sister were the two finalists for the part of Winnie. It seems she did an online interview on AOL in Dec 1997. Several people posted the transcript from the interview (for example, here), and here's what she said (according to the interview) about the audition:
Question: Danica, I read that you and your sister were both up for Winnie. How often does that happen as you audition?
Yo Danica: Well we are approximately the same age and when we were younger we did audition for many of the same but this is the only role where it came down to just the two of us... When the producers decided to hire me for the part, they promised Crystal a role on the show- and they fulfilled their promise. Crystal portrayed the role of Becky Slater for three seasons. It was wonderful working together!
Unfortunately, I only find Usenet posted transcripts of the interview, not an authoritative record of the event. So... not exactly journalism-quality evidence. (Unsigned post)
The math section is one of the better sections. I met a lady this week in passing, and she mentioned that she also studied mathematics in college. What I read once about Danica and mathematics came to mind and was part of the discussion. Society does stereotype men as mathematicians.

I'm almost certain that McKellar has a Master's Degree in Mathematics. (The "blurb" on the right says "Education: Bachelor's Degree.) She certainly is one of the named authors on a published Master's Thesis.
I 'dug' a little and I think you may actually be right. The paper with her name on it, which was about the "Chayes McKellar Winn Theorum," was apparently a Senior Thesis, not a Master's Thesis. oops!

Under the Mathematics section: "McKellar's Erdős number is four.[20] She is one of the few people with an Erdős-Bacon number, which combines an Erdős number with a Bacon Number (as in the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon) since she also has a Bacon number of 2,[21] making her Erdos-Bacon number a 6."
This has absolutely nothing to do with "mathematics", about which Ms McKellar is serious. It's subjective cultural trivia at best that demeans the section. And doesn't the subjectivity also make it Original research? If you feel it must stay, put it in a section on popular culture or trivia. Thank you, Wordreader ( talk) 14:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
