Former child actress Lisa Dean Ryan is best known for her role as the way-out-of-his-league girlfriend of geeky pipsqueak savant Doogie Howser, MD. I mean, he was a child genius turned teenage accomplished physician but still, one look at her tight body in a pink bikini and it's like Howser? How the Hell's he get her? Born in Phoenix, Lisa made her TV debut as Spock on The Love Boat, before her very spankable behind showed up in episodes of 21 Jump Street and Beverly Hills, 90210. Soon after, she landed her biggest role to date, as Wanda Plenn on the medical drama/bildungsroman that made Neil Patrick Harris famous. Due to the constraints of network TV, raven-haired Lisa never did get a chance to really “play doctor,” nor has she bared any skin in her subsequent roles--mostly bit parts on TV shows such as NYPD Blue and Boy Meets World where she played Mary Beth, a recently dumped college girl who desperately wants the curly haired dork who is very much not a doctor Corey Matthews to bang the heartbreak. And he passes! Dumbest boy in the world! She did make an interesting turn in straight-to-video guilty pleasure Twisted Love (1995) alongside Saved by the Bell/NYPD Blue heartthrob Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Luscious Lisa played a deranged, lovesick high schooler who tormented and teased a captive football hero à la Kathy Bates in Misery (1990). Disney Channel fans will remember her as Diane in Tiger Cruise (2004) before Lisa left acting just a year later after an episode of Mystery Woman. Unfortunately, it looks like Lisa's body will forever remain a mystery to us.
