Danica McKellar - top poker player?

Actress and star of The Wonder Years Danica McKellar has been named as the celebrity most likely to make a good poker player.

A top ten list was drawn up by the Casino City Times which suggested McKellar could be just as good as ace woman player Vanessa Rousso if she put her mind to it.

The publication argued her combination of acting skill and a mathematics degree would be able to get her right to the top of the poker tree.

If McKellar did ever make it at poker, she would not be the first actress to do so.

Shannon Elizabeth has had successes at both the World Series of Poker and the National Heads-Up Poker Championship, while Oscar-nominated Jennifer Tilly is currently third at the World Poker Tour's LA Poker Classic.

Actors take up all ten places in the list, with Sir Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman and George Clooney among the top five.
