Dana Welles Delany was born on March 13, 1956, in New York City and
raised in Stamford, Connecticut. Dana knew early in life that she
wanted to be an actress. Following graduation from Wesleyan University,
this tall (5'6") beauty moved to New York and developed her skills
working in daytime television and theater. Dana starred in the Broadway
show "A Life" and received critical acclaim in a number of off-Broadway
productions as well. Her role in
Nicholas Kazan's controversial
"Bloodmoon" in New York led her to Hollywood. Dana acted in a number of
TV series, working steadily until she could get her own starring
vehicle. That happened in 1988 when Dana became identified with Army
nurse Colleen McMurphy in ABC TV's critically acclaimed series
China Beach (1988), the role
earning her four Emmy nominations and two Emmy Awards as Best Actress.
Dana moved on to movies and eventually started getting starring roles in films such as Tombstone. With over a dozen TV and movie projects within the last few years, Dana is one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood.
