Biography
Erin Daniels (born October 9, 1973) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Dana Fairbanks on The L Word (2004-2007). Her feature film work includes A Single Man and One Hour Photo.
Daniels was born Erin Cohen in St. Louis, Missouri, where she grew up. Her father was an architect and her mother was a clinical social worker. She grew up in a Jewish family; her mother co-founded the Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis and her grandmother received an award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews.[1][2] She attended Clayton High School and Vassar College, graduating from the latter in 1995[3] after majoring in art.[1]Read more...
Career
After Vassar, she moved to New York City, where she studied with William Esper, a protégé of Sanford Meisner, and worked Off Broadway. She then moved to Los Angeles for a part on the short-lived TV series Action.[1]
In 2002, the St. Louis Film Festival awarded Daniels the Emerging Star Award.[4] She appeared in One Hour Photo, Wheelmen, and House of 1000 Corpses[5] before becoming a major cast member of Showtime's The L Word. Her depiction of Dana Fairbanks on that show prompted an anonymous donation of a million dollars to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation,[6] an organization that promotes and funds breast cancer intraductal research.[7]
Daniels has also appeared in the TV shows Action, Jericho, Dexter, Saving Grace, Big Shots, Justice, CSI and Swingtown.
She played the role of The Mother in Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean.[8]
Personal life
Daniels married producer Chris Uettwiller in 2008. They are currently living in Los Angeles with their two children; a son born 2009 and a daughter born 2012.
