Grown up, tuned in and just naturally beautiful! Whatever here talents were or not, she definitely could've achieved a future star status in a modeling career for years to come at the least. Happy birthday Danielle!🎂
She tried everything to get back into the spotlight after ABP; two topless movies, a short soap opera stint, 2 solo records, live musical theater. Yes, I think she even dipped her cute toe into modeling! You have to give her credit for persistence. Sadly nothing clicked & her last chance at the brass ring ended prematurely when her New Radicals partner pulled the plug before her comeback had powered up.
@@bornoncentral4485 Didn't that band have like just a ONE HIT? A lot of bands either get dropped or they break up after the fact. Kind of a shame Danielle might not have had the proper casting or agents to Jumpstart something new. Anything.
@davidstandingcrow219~~Indeed she is adorable a so very talented~~I just listened to her album and she has such a great voice~~I never knew she sang~~The songs were great as well~~I sure wish she would have pursued a singing career~~I don't think she even knows how good she is~~What a doll she turned out to be~~Awesome singer~~😃😃😃💗💗💗
@@vikkibrown2023 I know nothing about her music career other than the adult alternative material that she did. I only heard one song she sang and I think she released in total like 4 albums?

Danielle jinxed herself. She talked about not going to college because she wanted to continue both acting & singing. But after a couple more unsuccessful roles she would get soured on acting and focus on music. But the early 90s was tough time to reboot a career as a singer if you weren't into angry grunge, rap or R&B. Add the lingering image of cute Stephanie Mills & the mountain to get on radio was insurmountable even though she opted for a total makeover, cutting off all her sexy long dark hair. She attempted another comeback with short lived New Radicals, which lead to an aborted 2nd solo record. Sadly 15 years after this GMA interview Billboard points out she still hadn't broken thru. books.google.com/books?id=kBEEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30&dq=carly+hennessy+billboard+2001&source=bl&ots=2pez9YgNrW&sig=ACfU3U31QkXo2Ah25EPILptVbo59wtjrtg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjBi8Xsz-XuAhVWHc0KHeFWBd44ChDoATADegQIBhAC#v=onepage&q=carly%20hennessy%20billboard%202001&f=false
Chuck Gibson mentioned Danielle was 18 years old (17 when Mama 2 was actually filmed) but she looked so much older than her real age, she played the role of big sister to 22 year old Julie McCullough in the film.
Whatever happened to her 1987 record mentioned here www.newspapers.com/newspage/264657739/ and in this GMA piece? I can't find any info showing that it actually ever saw the light of day. Sadly it also illustrated how badly she wanted to get back into the spotlight and how she was open to just about anything at this point to get the opportunity. It had to be devastating for her to have a little taste of stardom when she was so young, see it disappear when she was only 14, and then no matter how hard she tried never really making an impact again.
Danielle had already spent years trying everything under the Sun to jump start her career. She attempted regional theater, wrote a gossip column, modeled, appeared on the cooking and signing reality shows of the day. I think she even did PR work for the board game Flip Out but nothing clicked for her. I'm guessing she must have gotten a lot of bad advice from people telling her appearing topless in this dud film was her final chance to shake off the unfair washed up former child star stigma. Instead it was a death sentence to any credibility she had left as a legitimate entertainer.
Danielle didn't tell Chuck Gibson the entire behind the scenes story. Desperately trying to restart a stalled career, she was not only attempting to revive her acting by appearing topless in this forgettable movie, but as she alluded to was also working to drum up interest in her releasing an album. It was in one of these meetings with music execs that Mark Hudson allegedly showed off his junk: www.newspapers.com/newspage/475943217/
Her character was cute and nice on All in the family but damn she changed on Archie Bunkers Place and became pretty mean and ungrateful and just a brat as others have said!
@@jackmcgee5331 Yeah it was really weird how it went. and how so many characters were suddenly gone with no explanation at all. They brought in Billie and focused on her instead.
I was recently reading an article w/CoC from Summer 1982. He said with the likely impending departure of Anne Meara and no new major character additions season 4 would focus on two things; Billie and Gary with hopes of spinning them off into their own series. The other would be keeping Uncle Arch active dealing with a more argumentative & independent Stephanie. Maybe they touched upon that in an episode or two but it really didn't happen on any large scale. I wonder what caused plans to change; if CoC thought Danielle was on the trajectory to become such big star on her own she didn't need Archie's Place as a vehicle. So that last season he eventually decided to take the storyline in a different direction and focus on other characters.
@@jackmcgee5331 Funny thing about Bille and Gary as they were both in a spinoff before this called FISH which only last one season. They played different characters of course
And that was when Stephanie was on which wasn't that much anymore. The last season and a half it became the Billie show and with her lawyer boyfriend Gary they monopolized the program. That was okay, I thought Denise Miller did a nice job. But in a half hour show with a big cast someone had to be sacrificed and that meant a lot less camera time for lovely Miss Mills, she was no longer Uncle Archie's main sidekick. To a lesser extent Van Ranseleer and even Arch himself had less to do.
@@jackmcgee5331 ABP really did seem to forget about her the last 2 seasons which is a shame. Odd show like hank was missing after season one never explained. The accountant who seemed would be a permanent character gone after two shows never explained. Veronika and Mrs Camby gone all of a sudden never explained. Even the restarant part of the bar seemed to never be shown the last 2 season. Barney was engaged to that hooker and then she was never seen or heard from again and never told why they did not get married. The black neighbors were never seen or heard from after the start of season 2 and on and on. very odd
@@joemartin1253 Apparently you're not familiar with the fact that acting and song writing are not the same career. Acting career went nowhere like I said 8 years ago.
She was good on 'all in the family' and grew up so beautiful! God bless her❤
Danielle never changes. She is just as stunning here as she was adorably cute in AITF/ABP.
She was and is cool

She's talking about writing music. Yesterday she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
She is so pretty... love her!
She really is a gorgeous woman.

It’s so sad because she was so talented

Danielle was cute back in the day.
In the intro that Charlie Gibson gave, he neglected to mention that she was on the final season of All In The Family(tsk tsk!)
I love danielle brisebois

That interviewer was a jerk
Hot 18 year old.
Went nowhere? LOL Who do you think has been writing some of the most successful songs to date?
