Happy Birthday: Dana Delany

Dana Delany

Born: March 13, 1956 in New York City, New York, USA

If you put Willem Dafoe, Liam Neeson and James Woods in a room together, there wouldn’t be room for anyone else.

[describing to David Letterman her eccentric family’s devotion to their patriarch’s invention of the Delany flush valve] My grandfather used to say, “It may be shit to you, but it’s our bread and butter.”

When you do a nude scene with an actor, he sometimes gets an erection if he’s into the scene. It’s sort of a compliment, isn’t it?

I love being on stage or in front of the camera. My work brings me a lot of joy. It helps me figure out who I am. I’m really lucky that I get to make a living at acting.
