Did I Do That? A Look Back At Family Matters

Kellie Shanygne Williams Then

Kellie Shanygne Williams landed the role of the oldest Winslow daughter and object of Urkel’s affections, Laura Winslow. Her character is independent and focused on education to the point where she becomes distraught when her straight-As are broken by a B+ grade. In the show, she is accepted to Harvard University but declines because her parents can’t afford the tuition.

Though Laura rebuffs Steve Urkel throughout the show, they become a couple in the final season, and are engaged to be married in the third to last episode, “Pop Goes the Question.”
