Is the actress “Alex” the same one who played "Winnie from The Wonder Years…opposite Fred Savage?

That actress would be Danica McKeller and while this actress has similar eyes and face shape, I wouldn’t say that is her.

Danica McKeller has been in about every 5th Hallmark Channel movie, so I don’t think she would have time to do a commercial.

1. It doesn’t look like Danica to me.
2. If they paid Danica to sponsor their product line, they would be using her name. You don’t pay sponsor rates and hide the sponsor behind a fake name-it would be a waste of money and the deception would be found out immediately.

[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSRBNubtg8U) is what Danica McKellar looks like these days.

There’s a slight resemblance, but it’s not her.
