She appeared in different television series and eventually got her big break as Winnie Cooper in the famous 1998 series The Wonder Years.

Despite her success in acting, McKellar realized that her income is not enough to live a stable life. With that, she pursued her studies and successfully graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles. After graduating, she managed to publish several mathematical books from 2008 to 2012.
