Well Said: Danica McKellar on What's Sexy

"If a guy is skilled at anything, that’s attractive.

"If a guy is skilled at anything, that’s attractive. There’s something very primal about that, and, sure, it can be as simple as figuring out the tip quickly . . . Confidence is one of the sexiest things in guys and girls. Look at Michelle Pfeiffer: My God, she’s 50 years old, but she is still so sexy. If I were into women, I would be totally into her."

— Danica McKellar, aka Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years, flashed some skin in her recent Maxim interview. But this mathlete, who's written three books on her quest to get girls more interested in numbers, put aside the books to school us on what's sexy.

Buzz In: What TV/Movie Characters Did You Look Up To?

I don't think about her often anymore, but the news that Danica McKellar (aka. Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years) recently got married reminded me that once upon a time I wanted to be Winnie Cooper. At the time, I'm not even sure it had much to do with the character's personality — I think I just coveted her long, straight hair. But for whatever reason, I thought Winnie Cooper was totally rad. I was also slightly obsessed with Punky Brewster and wished I were as fun and fearless as she seemed to be (when I wore mismatching sneakers, it just looked like a sad mistake).

One of my other major "role models," of sorts, was Chris Parker (Elizabeth Shue) from Adventures in Babysitting. I think more than anything I wanted her to be my babysitter, but I also admired Chris and wanted to be like her — clever, pretty, able to improvise a blues song when need be — when I grew up.

What about you? What characters on TV and in the movies did you think were just the coolest?
