During Christmas season I like watching American Xmas movies and Danica McKellar is starring in a couple of them. When I tried to find out more about her recently I was quite surprised to find that she is a mathematician, too. Her name is included in the "Chayes–McKellar–Winn theorem". She has also written a couple of books to make girls become more interested in mathematics. In an interview she said that she wrote a particular book "to show girls that math is accessible and relevant, and even a little glamorous" and to counteract "damaging social messages telling young girls that math and science aren't for them". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danica_McKellar
