NEW YORK — The actress who played Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years" has gotten married.
Danica McKellar, 34, married composer Mike Verta, 36, on Sunday in the California seaside town of La Jolla. McKellar's publicist yesterday confirmed the marriage, earlier reported by People magazine.
McKellar recently starred in the 2008 Sci-Fi Channel movie "Heatstroke," for which Verta composed the score.
McKellar played the elusive young love interest on "The Wonder Years," which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1993. Then, after studying mathematics at UCLA, McKellar wrote two books, "Math Doesn't Suck" and "Kiss My Math."
FAN TRIES TO BREAK ONTO 'DANCING' SET
LOS ANGELES — A restraining order has been issued against a man authorities say tried to break onto the set of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" to meet celebrity dancing contestant Shawn Johnson.
Johnson, 17, is an Olympic gymnastics gold medalist.
Court records show an order was issued against Robert O'Ryan, who was arrested by police Tuesday. According to the court records, O'Ryan was stopped by security at CBS Studios, the lot where "Dancing With the Stars" is staged, after he allegedly jumped on a fence Monday afternoon.
Police later searched his car and found a shotgun and handgun — both loaded — as well as duct tape and love letters.
ISAIAH WASHINGTON FACING EVICTION
LOS ANGELES — Isaiah Washington's landlord has started an eviction procedure against the former "Grey's Anatomy" star, claiming he owes $100,000 in rent.
Documents filed Tuesday by Sandalwood Properties claim that Washington and his wife have not paid their $20,000-a-month rent on a home in the Venice area of Los Angeles since November.
The 45-year-old actor lost his role on "Grey's Anatomy" in 2007 after using an anti-gay slur at the Golden Globe Awards.
He has since appeared in a handful of episodes in other TV series.
RICHARDSON'S ORGANS REPORTEDLY DONATED
LOS ANGELES — People.com is reporting that Natasha Richardson's family has donated her organs to save other lives.
Citing a "family friend" it did not name, the celebrity Web site said Richardson's family had requested her organs be donated after she was taken off life support last week. The report did not say whether any patient had received them.
The publicist for Richardson's husband, Liam Neeson, said he had no information on the matter.
Richardson died March 18 of a head injury that caused bleeding inside her skull after a fall during a beginner's ski lesson in Montreal two days before. The actress was buried at a private ceremony in upstate New York over the weekend.
