Danielle Campbell is the star of Disney's Star Disease and Graduation Films, which starred in her teens. Having become older, she remains the idol of the youth audience, who grew up with her and remembered the girl's first roles. About five years (2013-2018), Daniel devoted work in the TV series "The Firstborn", which reveals in more detail the fate of individual characters in the television series "The Vampire Diaries". Miss Campbell experienced increased attention to her person at the time of the affair with one of the soloists of One Direction.
Biography: childhood and early career
Danielle Marie Campbell was born on January 30, 1995 in the small town of Hinsdale, Illinois. She became the first-born of Georgina and John Campbell, who worked in the field of real estate fund management. A little later, a second child appeared in the family - the son of Johnny. Thanks to a small age difference, Daniel was always very friendly with her younger brother.
In early childhood, the future actress lived for a short time with her family in Singapore, where they were brought by their parents. The mother of the young star admitted that she always noticed her daughter's natural artistry and lack of fear of the public. However, Daniel never thought about the career of the actress. This decision fell to chance.
After returning from Singapore, mom and daughter went to a hairdresser in Chicago. An employee of the casting agency drew attention to a charming girl and asked Mrs. Campbell for contact details. Georgina did not count too much on this venture, but the very next day Daniel was invited to the first audition in her life. In just a week, she got a job in advertising the Build-A-Bear Workshop soft toys. The girl at that time was only 10 years old.
An early career and active employment did not prevent Daniel from studying at school and, if possible, remaining an ordinary child. Outside of filming, she regularly went to classes, performed school assignments and household chores. After much deliberation, parents did not want to move to Los Angeles. They felt that life in Hinsdale gives their daughter the opportunity to grow up in a calm environment and receive a quality education.
In Hollywood, all child actors are forced to study at home or on the Internet. Sociable Daniel was not ready to part with a classmate for the sake of a career. After a while, the girl admits that the school experience was very useful to her on the set of the film "Graduation". And in order to avoid unnecessary attention, Georgina Campbell made sure that the press did not disclose information exactly where her daughter was studying.
Creativity: acting career
Miss Campbell received her first television role at 11. She played the little victim of the abduction of Gracie Hollander in four episodes of the popular series Escape. In 2008 she made her debut in a full-length movie: in the drama "House of Poker" she got a small role as a girl Darla. Young Jennifer Lawrence and little Chloe Grace Moretz also took part in this picture.
In 2009, Daniel began working with Disney, which gave a successful start to many stars of the entertainment industry. First, she appeared in one of the episodes of the Zeke and Luther series. And then she was selected for the lead role in the movie Star Disease, filmed for Disney in 2009. On the television screen, Daniel turned into a simple girl Jessica Olsen, who has a romantic relationship with pop star and teen idol Christopher Wilde. On the premiere day of February 9, 2010, Star Disease gathered over six million Disney Channel viewers. The next morning, Danielle Campbell woke up famous.
At the end of April 2011, teenage drama Graduation produced by Walt Disney Pictures was released. As the name implies, the film tells about the preparation and conduct of the prom at a regular American school. One of the schoolgirls, Simone Daniels, was played by Danielle Campbell. Contrary to expectations, the film did not collect a large box office, although it exceeded its budget several times.
In 2013, Daniel successfully passed the casting in the series "The Original". After the success of The Vampire Diaries for one of his heroes, vampire Klaus, it was decided to make a separate story. Together with his family, he comes to New Orleans, where new enemies, secrets, prophecies, friendship and love await him. The young witch of Davin Claire, played by Campbell, is trying to destroy Klaus and his family. Spectacular vampire adventures were watched by spectators for five seasons. In the first three seasons, Daniel appeared in each series, and then starred in separate episodes. By the beginning of the series, she had already graduated from school, so for convenience she temporarily moved to Atlanta.
Miss Campbell's television career is so far more successful. This becomes clear if you look at the list of shows and TV shows in which the young actress took part:
- “To death is beautiful” (2012);
- Hell's Kitchen (2017);
- The Fugitives (2017);
- “Popular and in love” (2017);
- “Real American” (2018);
- Tell me a story (2018).
Apart from the previously mentioned projects, the filmography of Daniel is much more modest:
- Madey's Witness Protection Program (2012);
- “The race for salvation” (2016);
- “To hell with graduation” (2017);
- “You can choose your family” (2018).
The film "To hell with graduation" is not a continuation of the 2011 picture with a similar name. This is an original story in the genre of teen comedy. Danielle Campbell has the main role of the star of the school Maddy Dutner, who intends to outshine everyone at the prom. It is difficult to judge the commercial success of the film, since it was not at the box office, but was issued in the format of home video.
To questions from journalists about how she sees her future career, Daniel replies: “In the future, I would like to try myself in directing and producing. I’m interested in diving into different areas of this business, but now I’m focused on acting. ”
