[edit] Early life
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] She attended Clayton High School and Vassar College, graduating from the latter in 1995[2] after majoring in art.[1]
[edit] Career
After Vassar she moved to New York City, studying with William Esper, a protégé of Sanford Meisner and getting some Off Broadway roles; 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.[3] She appeared in One Hour Photo, Wheelmen, and House of 1000 Corpses[4] before becoming a 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,[5] an organization that promotes and funds breast cancer intraductal research.[6]
Daniels has also appeared in the TV shows Action, Jericho, Dexter, Saving Grace, Big Shots, Justice, CSI and Swingtown.
[edit] Personal life
Daniels married actor Tom Pattern on March 24, 2006. They are currently living in Los Angeles.
