80 of 95:
You may remember her for doing the running man in her bedroom, rolling her eyes whenever her on-screen brother uttered 'whoa!,' sewing a skirt out of ties and hanging out with her best friend named Six. Blossom Russo, played by Mayim Bialik, was pretty much the coolest '90s girl.
Before her days on 'Blossom,' Bialik had made a name for herself playing the younger version of Bette Midler's character in the movie 'Beaches.' After 'Blossom' ended in 1995 after five seasons, Bialik avoided the spotlight for several years but did voice characters on cartoon shows such as 'Johnny Bravo.' She also pursued an academic career. She earned a doctorate in neuroscience from UCLA in 2008.
In 1998, she appearing on an episode of 'Welcome to Paradox.' She guest starred on the shows '7th Heaven' in 2003 and two years later, played herself on two episodes of Kirstie Alley's comedy series 'Fat Actress.' She also had a recurring role on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' playing Jodi Funkhouser.
Bialik married Michael Stone on Aug. 31, 2003. The two have two sons, Miles Stone born Oct. 10, 2005 and Frederick Heschel born Aug. 15, 2008.
