She is played by several different infants in the film, and by Ellie Bamber in the TV series. Casting Danan in the film was initially played by infant twins Kate and Ruth Greenfield.

Kristen Lang played her for scenes shot in Marin County. Babies Isla Brentwood, Laura Hopkirk, and Gina Nelson played her for the parts filmed in New Zealand. In the more dangerous scenes, however, "a thirteen-pound animatronics baby with a remote-controlled moveable head and mouth" was used instead. Bamber entered into negotiations to play the adult Danan in No ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
