Danielle was born in Upland, California but moved to Utah
as an infant. At the age of five, she decided she wanted 
to be in a Hawaiian Tropic beauty pageant; she placed 
first in the pageant and won the Most Photogenic, Best 
Hair, and Best Personality categories as well. 

After landing several print ads, Chuchran signed with an 
agent to give acting a try. She landed her first two 
auditions and filmed two movies for the Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter-Day Saints, one of which still plays at 
the Salt Lake Visitors Center. At the age of eight she 
co-starred in "Little Secrets," a feature film with Vivica 
A. Fox, Evan Rachel Wood and Michael Angarano. Shortly 
thereafter she landed the role of Thing 1 in the "Cat in 
the Hat" feature.

Additional credits include the HBO movie "Shot in the 
Heart" and episodes of several TV series, among them 
"Crossing Jordan," "Girlfriends," "Days of Our Lives" 
and "The District." On stage she appeared in the production 
of "Elvis and Juliet," written by Mary Willard and directed 
by Ted Lange.

Chuchran's hobbies include dancing, playing soccer, softball, 
horseback riding, swimming, rock climbing, gymnastics, 
rollerblading and riding her ATV in the mountains. She also 
loves animals, especially her dog, Heidi, and her cat, 
Sunshine. She has an older sister and brother and is an 
aunt to Daven, Ashton and Bryton. 

Chuchran's dream is to be able to work with Keira Knightley 
and Tom Hanks.
