Career

The Room

Danielle was the female lead in Tommy Wiseau's cult film The Room in which she plays the protagonist Johnny's (Wiseau) scheming fiancée, Lisa, although she was originally cast for the supporting role of Michelle.[3]

The film was initially a notable failure, receiving abysmal reviews and exceedingly low box office returns. Shortly after the film, Danielle gave up acting to pursue other careers. However, the film went on to achieve cult success in various late night screenings, celebrating its disjointed dialogue and inconsistent plot. Like many of the film's other actors, including Wiseau himself and Greg Sestero, Danielle has embraced the following that the movie has achieved around the world, attending screenings and managing and using her Facebook page to interact with her fans.[4]

Her favourite line from the movie is "Leave your stupid comments in your pocket."[3]

One of her most notable scenes is during a conversation with the character Michelle, when a pronounced bulge on her neck appears several times under her red halter top.[5] That particular scene has been focused on in commentary and audience viewings. Danielle was puzzled by the phenomenon saying, "Can I just tell you that I've spent hours in front of the mirror trying to replicate that on purpose? I have no idea what was going on."[6]

Return to acting

In 2012, Danielle returned to acting[7] and appeared in Dead Kansas, Ghost Shark 2: Urban Jaws[8] and Till Morning.

Personal life

Danielle spent most of her early life in Sugar Land, Texas, a suburb of Houston.[3] She moved with her mother and sister to Los Angeles in the early 2000s and decided to pursue an acting career. In 2017, Danielle moved to San Antonio to be closer to her family.[9]

On July 7, 2017, Danielle married her husband, Joe Clark.[10][11]

Portrayal in The Disaster Artist

The 2017 film The Disaster Artist, starring James Franco,[12] dramatizes the events around the making of The Room.[13] Danielle is portrayed by Ari Graynor,[14] though Britney Spears was briefly considered for the role.[15]
