Eddie Daniels
Actor
Daniels was born in Seattle, Washington to Dan Haggerty, a civil engineer and Sandra Haggerty, a school teacher. She has three siblings sisters Leah and Christina, and brother Daniel.
Eddie Daniels wanted to act, dance and sing since she was six years old, and has appeared in over thirty films and TV Guest Appearances. From 1989 - 1992 Daniels was a featured dancer on the hit show Club MTV with Downtown Julie Brown. Daniels first garnered international attention in 1992 with her turn as Jersey Girl in Abel Ferarra's Bad Lieutenant. Her scene with Harvey Keitel garnered great reviews;
Variety Cannes Fest Review May 4, 1992 - "Even more impressive is a lengthy scene that could become a staple for acting classes in years to come, akin to the Brando-Steiger backseat "Palookaville" conversation in "On the Waterfront." Keitel stops two young sisters (Eddie Daniels, Bianca Bakija) from Jersey driving in the rain and harrasses them while standing outside their car window. His tour de force, seemingly improvised method acting is matched against their unaffected, nervous naturalism. Sexual content of this scene is suggested rather than explicit but proves quite startling." - Lawrence Cohn
Film Comment Magazine New Faces "Eddie Daniels & Bianca Bakija their ensemble portrait of two Jersey girls in deep shit is definitive. Subjected to harrowing sexual degradation by Harvey Keitel, their reactions and responses are instinctive and totally spontaneous, all trace of performance or playing a part stripped away along with their dignity. Truly organic acting - in all senses of the phrase." - Gavin Smith
Over the next few years, she won further critical support in Matthew Harrison's Rhythm Thief, and as Dove in Central Standard Time for which she was nominated Best New Actress Slamdance 1997 by Film Threat Magazine.
"Best New Actress: Eddie Daniels of "Central Standard Time." Constantly rising above the material, this hot young actress is just looking for the right vehicle to take her to the top." - Chris Gore
In 1998 she was invited by Slamdance to become a programmer for their yearly film festival in Park City Utah. In 1999 her mixed media self portrait titled, "City Ordinance My Ass" sold at Sotheby's for American Film Institute's "Where Film Art Meets Fine Art" benefit auction. Daniels hosted and founded, alongside producer Adam Leipzig and Susan Ferris, an independent film screening series called Rogue at the Vogue where they featured various up and coming filmmakers. She played Rhythm Guitar in the Alt Country Rock band Betty Dylan for two years. She played a rock singer in the film Manhattan Minutiae, performing songs she wrote for the film, giving fans an early look at her musical prowess. She appeared in music videos for Madonna and George Michael. She starred in the video for the Spin Doctors song "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast", and has also appeared in a series of American Movie Classics commercial segues in which she was platinum blonde, 1940's big band torch singer.
