American film actress and fashion model Danneel Harris (full name Elta Danneel Graul) was born on March 18, 1979. The girl's parents, Edward and Deborah Graul, named their daughter Elta after her great-grandmother, but she preferred to always use her middle name - Danneel.

Career start

The Graul family lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. Danneel's father was a well-known ophthalmologist, he spent all the time in the clinic, so the mother was engaged in raising her daughter. When Danneel turned eighteen, she moved to Los Angeles with the consent of her parents to fulfill her cherished dream of becoming an actress.

However, the girl had to start her career working in advertising. The beautiful appearance of Daniel Harris, height, weight and body parameters helped her break through and come forward in the difficult modeling business. She was tall (170 cm) and slender. Danneel's weight was only 57 kg. These parameters corresponded to the best standards that a fashion model should have. The selection was the most rigorous. Soon Danneel Harris, whose photos were sent outin all modeling agencies, began to receive invitations from advertising firms. There were so many offers that the girl could not accept them all.

First movie tryout

Danneel Harris made his film debut in the 2004 short film Clown Trouble directed by Chris Dowling. The role was small, but the twenty-five-year-old Danneel felt like a real movie star. Girlfriends congratulated Harris and she almost became proud. Nevertheless, the star disease bypassed the aspiring actress, the girl remained modest and shy as before.

Then she took part in the television series Judy, Why I Love You and Life to Live. These productions helped Danneel to feel himself in the acting environment. In 2005, Danny Harris landed a role in the hit series One Tree Hill, which ran from 2003 to 2012. The character of Rachel Gatina, a poorly brought up girl from a we althy family, made the actress famous and attracted a lot of enthusiastic fans.

Departure from TV

The producers of the series intended to renew the contract with the successful Harris, but she chose to shoot in a big movie and left the TV project. It was a bold move, as most young applicants spend years trying to get into TV shows and once they get on set, they try their best to hold on.

It was at that time that Danneel Harris, whose photos had already begun to appear onpages of glossy magazines, began to receive invitations to participate in full-scale film projects, such as "Light it up this summer", "Plan B", "Roommate". The main film of that time for the young actress was "Ten Inch Hero", because on the set of this picture she began a romantic relationship with Jensen Ackles, whom she met two years ago, on the set of the movie "Clownan Brawl".

Private life

After "Ten Hero" Danneel Harris and Jensen Ackles became an inseparable couple. In November 2009, their engagement was announced. Six months later, Danneel and Jensen got married. The celebration on this occasion took place in Dallas, in a narrow circle of friends and relatives. After the wedding, the newlyweds returned to Los Angeles and continued their participation in the filming of the next film.

Danneel switched to her husband's last name, which doesn't happen very often in the cinematic hierarchy - everyone values their name. The couple lives happily, for seven years they have not had a single quarrel. In 2013, it became known that the couple were expecting a child. This was another confirmation that Danneel and Jensen, one of the most respectable and beautiful couples in Hollywood, live in love.
