Mayim Bialik returning to television

NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Mayim Bialik, a former teen actress best known for playing the title role in the 1990s U.S. comedy series "Blossom," is returning to television.

The New York Post said Bialik, 34, took more than a decade off from acting to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience, get married and give birth to two sons.

The newspaper said she is now testing the waters to see if people are interested in seeing her act in grownup roles. She will soon appear in recurring guest roles on TV's "'Til Death" and "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."

"I am trying to see if the industry would like to see me as an adult actress and not as a teenager," she told the Post.
