Maitland Ward shot to fame when she joined the cast of the hit teen series “Boy Meets World” in 1998 (via Life & Style).
The actress played the role of Rachel McGuire, the gorgeous roommate and best friend to Will Friedel’s character, Eric Matthews, and Matthew Lawrence’s character, Jack Hunter. The two battled for Rachel’s affections, but it was Jack who eventually ended up dating her (via ShareTV).
After “Boy Meets World” ended in 2000, Ward went on to have a few parts in movies such as “White Chicks” and “Dish Dogs” (via IMDb).
However, she built a large social media following when she began doing cosplay. After years of showing off her elaborate costumes online, Ward transitioned into the adult entertainment industry, per Us Weekly.
But she hasn’t forgotten her days as Rachel and said that she would be interested in returning for a “Boy Meets World” spinoff that featured the original cast members. Of course, before Ward became a member of the teen drama series, she got her big break in soaps when she played the role of Jessica Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
