where is she now? what is she doing with her career? has she married?

She currently has a short film in the festival circuit, will guest star in an episode of "How I Met your Mother" and is going to be in a comedy/horror film. As far as I know she's not married. They do have a link to her website and things.--T. Anthony 09:55, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] parental background

I find little to nothing about her parents.--T. Anthony 09:55, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] auditions for Wonder Years

I found at least partial substantiation for the claim that she and her sister were the two finalists for the part of Winnie. It seems she did an online interview on AOL in Dec 1997. Several people posted the transcript from the interview (for example, here), and here's what she said (according to the interview) about the audition:

Question: Danica, I read that you and your sister were both up for Winnie. How often does that happen as you audition?

Yo Danica: Well we are approximately the same age and when we were younger we did audition for many of the same but this is the only role where it came down to just the two of us... When the producers decided to hire me for the part, they promised Crystal a role on the show- and they fulfilled their promise. Crystal portrayed the role of Becky Slater for three seasons. It was wonderful working together!

Unfortunately, I only find Usenet posted transcripts of the interview, not an authoritative record of the event. So... not exactly journalism-quality evidence.
