#7: Danielle Fishel

It’s nearly impossible to think of Danielle Fishel as anything other than Cory’s girlfriend Topanga on Boy Meets World. She starred in this TGIF ABC sitcom for seven seasons, starting in 1993. Danielle was only 12 years old at the time of the show’s pilot episode! She was only supposed to have a small part, but the producers liked her so much that she was elevated to series regular.

After the show ended in 2000, Danielle remained active in her career, making many film and television appearances. In 2014, she revived her role as Topanga in a Boy Meets World spin-off, Girl Meets World. The show lasted three seasons. She married Jensen Karp in 2017, and they have two sons together.
