Claim: Kevin’s lovable yet geeky sidekick in TV’s “The Wonder Years” grew up to be evil incarnate . . . er, Marilyn Manson.
Status: False.
Origins: Rumor has it that before launching into his music and mayhem career, shock rocker Marilyn Manson played Kevin Arnold’s sidekick, the geeky-but-lovable Paul Pfeiffer, on the popular TV series The Wonder Years.
Nope, not even close. Kevin’s sidekick Paul was played by Josh Saviano. As for Marilyn Manson, his real name is Brian Warner.
The “Marilyn Manson is the kid from ‘The Wonder Years’” variant is but the latest flavor of the popular “bad boy celebrity was cute little tyke on TV series” rumor. Another version says Manson was Kevin Owens on Mr. Belvedere. (Nope, that was Rob Stone).
Josh Saviano dates his first time hearing this rumor back to Christmas, 1996. He gets e-mail messages every week asking if he’s Manson:
“And I reply and say, ‘No, of course not,’” says Saviano, who gets a kick out of the Internet site that shows his likeness morphing into Manson’s.
“It doesn’t mean much to me,” he says. “I find it humorous. To see the creativity and imagination of some people is pretty interesting. It doesn’t upset me, nor does it offend me. I just take it as a joke.”
As well he should. Long before there was a Marilyn Manson, even before there was a Wonder Years, a similar tale was told about Alice Cooper and how he’d been Eddie Haskell on Leave It To Beaver. (Nope again. That was Ken Osmond.)
The rumor comes in many varieties. Though not a “bad boy of rock ‘n’ roll” by any stretch of the imagination,
Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins catches his fair share of fallout from a related whisper, that he was the lad who played Jamie on television’s Small Wonder. (Nope, yet again. That was Jerry Supiran).
Madonna has even been rumored to have been the adorable little Tabitha on TV’s Bewitched. (Yet another nope — that was Erin Murphy).
A number of Marilyn Manson rumors are wafting about. Manson is the parental nightmare of the 90’s, the focus for the “Rock ‘n’ roll is leading our kids to Hell!” faction and, as such, is a magnet for myths.
Our Dead Puppies page discusses the legend about his tossing live puppies to the audience and instructing them to tear the little dogs apart if they want him to go on with the show, and our Greener Pastors page gets into the canard about his becoming Evil Incarnate because a church youth group shunned him.
There’s something wickedly appealing about the notion of a squeaky-clean child star going on to become a rock star trading upon vivid images of horror and death.
Similar whispers about other former child stars turning their talents to porn films equally delight us because by believing them, we knock the heroes of yesterday off their pedestals in the here and now.
Those lovable TV families were hard enough to live up to without every character in them being perfect in real life as well — we’re delighted to hear when one of them turns out not to be.
A not-to-be-overlooked element in these stories is the “innocence” factor. By casting an especially lovable little tyke as the TV kid who grows up to be the rock ‘n’ roll spokesperson for all that’s evil, the fall from grace is seen to be that much greater.
To adequately point out the moral in such tales calls for contrast, and that is provided by the most sweet-faced TV child possible being chosen as the base of the canard.
One tangentially-related rumor has it that the cute little baby on the Ivory Snow box grew up to be a porn star. There’s a smidgeon of truth to this as Marilyn Chambers (of the 1972 porn film Behind the Green Door) was one of the models in that shot. But she was the young mother, not the baby.
(It’s not surprising she was cast for the mother’s role instead of the child’s, as the photo was taken in 1970. Not even she’s that good an actress.)
It’s interesting to note how this tidbit of information is processed by those who’ve come across it. Invariably, those who remember Marilyn Chambers being on the Ivory Snow box always cast her as the baby.
It’s that old “innocence transformed into evil” motif — a pretty mother in a soap ad going on to star in a porn film two years later doesn’t provide nearly the moral shock factor of an adorable little baby’s growing up to follow that particular career path.

Fred Savage E Josh Saviano
Kevin Arnold and Paul Pfeiffer were meant to be friends forever… and, apparently, so are their real life counterparts, Fred Savage and Josh Saviano.
The two Wonder Years pals attended the New York Rangers hockey game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. And Rangers fans definitely knew they were in the house, as the GardenVision screens showed clips from The Wonder Years before zooming into Savage and Saviano, who were laughing and cheering.
“Jumbotron game on point,” Savage wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the screen.
After the game — the fifth straight win in a row for the Rangers — the pair posed for photos on the ice. “You know it’s a good night at a @nyrangers game when @thefredsavage and I end up in the net #epicnight #lgr,” Saviano wrote on Instagram.

Star reveals shocking secret reason classic sitcom ‘The Wonder Years’ was axed
Updated on: 30 January 2018.
The classic TV coming-of-age show The Wonder Years was pulled off the air because of a “completely ridiculous” lawsuit against its then-16-year-old star, Fred Savage, one of his co-stars says.
Actress Alley Mills, who played the mother of Savage’s character Kevin Arnold, said that when the cast filmed the season six finale of the hit show, there was a question whether it would be renewed because of a sexual harassment lawsuit that had been filed against Savage and co-star Jason Hervey, then 20.
“When we shot the series finale … nobody knew whether or not The Wonder Years was going to be renewed. And that’s because of a completely ridiculous sexual harassment suit that was going on against Fred Savage — who is like, the least offensive, most wonderful, sweet human being that ever walked the face of the Earth,” Mills told Yahoo.
Mills said if it hadn’t been “for all that garbage,” she is sure the show would have continued for a seventh season.
Former costume designer Monique Long launched the suit in 1993 in Los Angeles Superior Court after she alleged she couldn’t do her job and was fired because Savage asked to hold her hand, requested an affair and made sexual remarks.
The suit was dropped after an undisclosed out of court settlement was made.
When asked how she felt having her name brought up after all these years, Long told The Post on Sunday: “I have no comment until I speak to my attorney.”
Mills says she’s still angry she didn’t have a chance to defend Savage, now 41.
“It’s a little bit like what’s happening now — some innocent people can get caught up in this stuff; it’s very tricky. It was so not true. It was my dresser, and I don’t care if she’s listening — I probably shouldn’t be telling this, but I don’t care because it was so long ago and it’s gotta be over now.”
Mills said she blames the show’s network, ABC, for settling the case.
“I just thought this was a joke. You know, they bought her off, which really made me mad,” she says. “That was incorrigible that the network did that; they should never have paid her off. They wanted to avoid a scandal or something, but it made them look guilty. You know, you don’t pay someone off when there was no crime, you just fire the girl.”
