Brittany Daniel Biography

Brittany%20Daniel Brittany Daniel Biography

An appealing blonde actress who got her start in projects pairing her with twin sister Cynthia, fresh-faced energetic performer Brittany Daniel went from teen model to young actress when she stopped growing at a relatively short 5’7″. Appearing on the short-lived syndicated daytime drama “Swans Crossing” failed to jumpstart her career, but this onetime Doublemint twin found fame as Jessica, the wilder half of the Wakefield twins on “Sweet Valley High”, the syndicated series based on Francine Pascal’s long-running young adult book series. From 1994 to 1998 she played against type as the outgoing and opportunistic sister while her real-life twin played the more studious Elizabeth. With Cynthia, Daniel made her big screen debut in the gritty biopic “The Basketball Diaries”, playing Blinkie alongside her sister’s Winkie, two upper-class wild girls who run around with would-be heroin-addled poet Jim Carroll (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his pal Neutron (Patrick McGaw).

Claire Danes Biography

Claire%20Danes Claire Danes Biography

To look upon the face of Claire Danes is to discover an exquisitely expressive canvas for all the emotional colorings of life. This remarkably self-possessed young performer brought startling authenticity as well as intelligence and complexity to her starring role in the landmark high school/family drama “My So-Called Life” (ABC, 1994-95). Danes’ often heartrending portrayal of a fifteen-year-old coping with the rigors of adolescence contributed to the cult series’ avalanche of kudos and won a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nod for its rising star. The low-rated, short-lived program counted Steven Spielberg and Winona Ryder among its followers.

Beverly D’Angelo Biography

beverlydangelo Beverly DAngelo Biography

A striking and sultry blue-eyed blonde performer, Beverly D’Angelo could be a household name, if only she cared to be. Multi-talented, she first gravitated to art, working in the animation department of Hanna-Barbera before moving to Canada to pursue her singing career, most notably with rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins. It was there that Gower Champion spotted her and cast her as Ophelia in his Canadian production of “Rockabye, Hamlet” (1975), which moved the next year to Broadway for a short run. After smaller roles in Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” and Michael Winner’s “The Sentinel” (both 1977), D’Angelo gained wide attention as the rebellious debutante Sheila in Milos Forman’s highly acclaimed film version of “Hair” (1979). She secured her reputation with a compelling portrayal of Patsy Cline in Michael Apted’s “Coal Miner’s Daughter” (1980), singing with style and accuracy the Patsy Cline songs for a soundtrack album which went gold.

D’Angelo first played Ellen Griswold, the role audiences most identify with her, in “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983) and then reprised the part opposite screen husband Chevy Chase in three equally light-weight sequels (1985, 1989 and 1997) which did well at the box office and made her a bunch of money. Though she has done her best by such forgettable misfires as “High Spirits” (1988) and “Man Trouble” (1992), D’Angelo made a memorably beautiful movie with then-boyfriend Irish director Neil Jordan, “The Miracle” (1991), just before breaking up with him. On TV, she won raves for her luminous Stella Kowalski in the 1984 TV remake of “A Streetcar Named Desire” (ABC) opposite Treat Williams and Ann-Margret. D’Angelo also starred as crime victim Mary Heard in the CBS miniseries “Hands of a Stranger” (1987), portrayed Kitty Menendez in the 1994 miniseries “Menendez: A Killing in Beverly Hills” (NET) and appeared with Bruce Davison and MacKenzie Astin in the HBO murder mystery movie “Widow’s Kiss” (1996).

Elisha Cuthbert Biography

elisha cuthbert Elisha Cuthbert Biography

The blond-haired, blue-eyed, pouty-lipped actress who gained fame playing Kiefer Sutherlandâ€™s rebellious daughter on the hit series â€œ24â€ (Fox, 2002- ), Elisha Cuthbert has undeniable all-American good looks, even though she hails from Alberta, Canada. As Kimberly Bauer, daughter of counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer (Sutherland), Cuthbert found herself the perpetual victim of kidnapers, terrorists, armed robbers, even a cougar. The constant perils that befell her character spawned a fan following that watched every episode in anticipation of what might happen to her next (many fans also developed a passionate dislike for her character’s improbable trevails). So when Cuthbert was found seated behind a computer as member of her fatherâ€™s elite counter-terrorist squad at the beginning of season three, fans fretted that her dangerous days were at an end. Though such concerns proved to be unfounded, it was certain that Cuthbert had become a major rising star.
Cuthbert began her career at the age of 7 as a child model. She made the jump to television while 15 when she won the job of hosting â€œPopular Mechanics For Kidsâ€ (CTV, 1997-2000), a syndicated educational program on Canadian television that explored various topics related to science and technology. The actress then made her feature film debut in the indie drama, â€œDancing on the Moonâ€ (1997), about a young girl trying to deal with family life. The movie was barely shown on the lower-tiered film festival circuit.

Joan Cusack Biography

Joan%20Cusack Joan Cusack Biography

A tall, auburn-haired character actress of stage and screen, known for her comedic support in features, Joan Cusack made her feature debut in “My Bodyguard” (1980) and went on to appear sporadically in films while attending the University of Wisconsin at Madison. After college she joined the cast of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the notable 1985-86 season, in which original producer Lorne Michaels made his much heralded return. Cusack, like many of the female players over the course of that show’s run, was underused and she departed after one season. She fared somewhat better turning in a scene-steeling supporting performance as the sprinting, harried production assistant in “Broadcast News” (1987) who utters the memorable line to her boss (Holly Hunter): “Except for socially, you’re my role model”.
