If we as filmmakers do our jobs correctly, the ONLY thing the audiences should notice is the performances. Filmmaking is about capturing the performances given by the actors. That's what audiences are really interested in, and that's what we need to deliver in order to succeed.
There seems to be so much shame wrapped up in speech disabilities. It seems very sad and complicated all at the same time.
When you do a lot of acting your entire life, you see the entire set from one point of view. To have a chance to step back and pull it all together is really exciting. You want to do it all; you want to have a hand in everything.
Had a 1998 paper published in Britain's "Journal of Physics A: Mathematics & General" with UCLA professor Lincoln Chayes and student Brandy Winn which provided a mathematical proof for a theorem dealing with magnetism in two dimensions. Her Erdos number is at most 4 (her Bacon number, by comparison, is 2).
Was a member of the Alpha Chi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority at UCLA.
She is of Scottish and Portuguese descent.
Played the role of Catherine in a San Diego production of David Auburn's play Proof. Catherine is an unlikely mathematical genius who writes a groundbreaking proof at a very young age; McKellar is also an unlikely mathematical genius (she was the only undergraduate invited to speak at Rutgers University's biannual Statistical Mechanics) who wrote a proof at a very young age.
She sticks to a macrobiotic diet.
Danica graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a BA in mathematics in June 1998.
