| Occupation | Actress |
Danielle Christine Fishel (born May 5, 1981) is an American actress. She is the host of "The Dish". She portrayed Topanga Lawrence on the 1990s TV sitcom Boy Meets World. She appeared in National Lampoon's Dorm Daze and its sequel, and was a spokesperson for NutriSystem.

Early life
Fishel was born in Mesa, Arizona, the daughter of Jennifer, a personal manager, and Rick Fishel, a medical equipment sales executive.1 The family relocated to Yorba Linda, California when she was three weeks old. She has one younger brother, Christopher Fishel.
Career
In 1991, the then 10-year-old Fishel was discovered in a community theater where she performed in two productions, The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan. She quickly moved on to do voice-overs and commercials, including several as a Barbie Girl for Mattel. Soon after, she appeared on two episodes of the hit show Full House, guest starring as a character named Jennifer. She also had a small role on Harry and the Hendersons, playing Jessica. Fishel's mother became her full-time manager.
In 1993, at the age of 12, Fishel began her well-known role as Topanga Lawrence on ABC's pilot series Boy Meets World. Originally written as a small part, Lawrence became a recurring role. After a successful first year, Fishel became a show regular.2 Fishel's character, Topanga Lawrence, was a sparkly, intelligent girl who was mature beyond her years.
Throughout the series, a central plot was the relationship between her and main character, Cory Matthews. Their high-school sweetheart romance took them through high school, dealing with stereotypical "after-school special" themes such as peer pressure, teen sex, infidelity, and breakups. Topanga proposed to Cory at graduation and the show followed them to college. The characters married. The long-running show ended in 2000 after seven years, with Cory and Topanga going to New York to pursue careers.
Fishel was on the cover of Seventeen in December 1998. She took home a 1998 Young Star for Best Performance by a Young Actress in a Comedy TV Series. In June 1999, she was one of "The 21 Hottest Stars Under 21" as presented by Teen People.
Fishel was on the cover of GQ's hottest stars to watch in GQ's 1997 September issue. (GQ 1997 9)
Since Boy Meets World ended, Fishel has appeared in several films, including National Lampoon's Dorm Daze. In 2006, she appeared in three made-for-DVD releases: National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2: College at Sea (appearing again as "Marla" from the first film), the action film Gamebox 1.0 (playing a dual role), and The Chosen One, an independent animated film in which she provides the voice of the lead female character.
In 2006, Fishel appeared as a guest on The Tyra Banks Show where she discussed her dramatic weight loss with the use of the Nutrisystems Diet.3 Following her appearance on the show, Fishel became a spokesperson for NutriSystem. She also became a special correspondent for The Tyra Banks Show, starting in early February 2007.4
In August 2008, Fishel began hosting The Dish for the Style Network, which satirizes pop culture in a format similar to sister network E! Entertainment Television's The Soup. Fishel was also on Fuse TV as host of The Fuse 20, and was a guest star on the round table on an episode of Chelsea Lately.
Personal life
In real life, Fishel dated her Boy Meets World co-star, Ben Savage.34 She also briefly dated another of her Boy Meets World co-stars, Matthew Lawrence. She attended her prom with 'N Sync member Lance Bass.
