Danielle Fishel teases special surprise for 'Boy Meets World' William Daniels: 'I'd love to go back'

Danielle Fishel is planning to give a touching gift to William Daniels, who worked together on the set of 'Boy Meets World,' on his forthcoming milestone birthday.

As Daniels is about to mark his 99th birthday on March 31, Fishel told People in a recent interview that she was to gift her costar a "sentimental" present in honor of his service in the entertainment industry.

"I think the older you get, the more sentimental you get about things. And Bill has had such an incredible career," the 44-year-old actress told the outlet.

Fishel went on to say, "So I'd love to go back and find maybe some pictures of some of his original jobs.

"Because, you know, he was a child performer, and he was a tap dancer, and I just want to go back to that 1920s time period and see if I could find something for him."

"Maybe a nice framed photo of him and his sister or something," she added, mentioning Daniels' sister, Jacqueline, as the sibling duo performed as a team titled a song-and-dance when Daniels was a young boy.

For those unversed, Daniels played the role of teacher Mr. Feeny in the hit '90s TV series 'Boy Meets World' and Fishel starred as the pal and love interest, Topanga Lawrence, of Mr. Feeny's neighbor Cory Matthews, played by Ben Savage.
