Profession: Actress

Her early career included a TV role on Love of Life (1979), performing on Broadway in A Life (1980), then back to TV on As The World Turns (1981). The west coast production of the controversial play Bloodmoon (1983-1984) took Dana to Hollywood. The next few years consisted of parts in various films and TV guest spots, including an appearance on Moonlighting (1985) and 3 notable episodes of Magnum P.I. (1986). The significant break for Dana occurred when she was cast as Colleen McMurphy on the highly acclaimed China Beach, airing from 1988 to 1991, bringing her intense media attention. This role not only garnered 2 Emmy awards, but 2 other Emmy nominations, and 2 Golden Globe nominations. Leveraging this newfound fame, Dana appeared in feature films such as Light Sleeper (1992), Housesitter (1992), and Tombstone (1993), and TV movies such as Promise to Keep (1991), and Wild Palms (1993). Dana still took on controversial roles such as Margaret Sanger in the TV movie Choices of the Heart (1995), Mistress Lisa in the 1994 feature film adaptation of the Anne Rice book Exit to Eden, and an Emmy nominated role as a gun-owning mother in an episode of the TV series Family Law (1999). Dana provided voice-over work as Lois Lane in the Warner Bros. animated productions of Superman, starting in the mid 1990s, and continuing through 2005. This resulted in her being one of the few to be mentioned by name in the Animaniacs theme song.
