Which actress starred in NBC's "Blossom"?
NBC's "Blossom" hit the airwaves in 1990 and gave us a teenage girl who wasn't afraid to tackle serious topics while wearing the most eclectic collection of hats and headbands ever assembled for television. The series needed someone who could handle both comedy and drama while making viewers believe she was just a regular kid dealing with extraordinary situations. Which actress brought Blossom to life?
▼
Correct Answer: Mayim Bialik
(Source)Mayim Bialik landed the role of Blossom Russo and spent five seasons perfecting the art of the teenage philosophical monologue. The show launched her into teen stardom, but Bialik had plans that went way beyond Hollywood. While most former child stars were trying to shed their wholesome image, she was quietly working toward a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA. She actually took a break from acting to focus on her studies and raise her family, which is probably the most responsible thing any former teen TV star has ever done. Years later, she found her way back to television as Amy Farrah Fowler on "The Big Bang Theory," where she got to play a neuroscientist who was almost as smart as she actually is in real life.
