On March 17, 1976, blond haired, blue-eyed Brittany was born to parents C.B. and Carolyn Daniel, five minutes before her twin sister Cynthia. Along with Cynthia and their older brother Brad, Brittany grew up in the small Florida town of Gainesville. When asked about her parents, Brittany once replied, "My parents were strict Catholics and raised us in a pretty conventional way. It helped us balance our lives especially when we decided to go into acting."
An aspiring actress and model from an early age, Brittany began modeling while still in high school. She, along with Cynthia,… More appeared in such magazines as Teen, Seventeen, Sassy and YM. The Doublemint twin then went on to forward her rising career by appearing on Burke's Law, The New Leave It To Beaver and Swan's Crossing. Brittany's first major motion picture role was appearing alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Basketball Diaries. Although her role was small, her performance did catch the attention of a lot of people. Along with her sister, Brittany won the Youth in Film Award for Best Actress in a Teen Series as Jessica Wakefield on Sweet Valley High. Brittany played Jessica Wakefield for four seasons before Sweet Valley High went off the air.

Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Brittany Daniel. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Brittany Daniel is really a talented actress. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "The Basketball Diaries."
