"Andover was the best time of my life," she recalled. She played the lead role of Nellie Forbush in the school's spring musical production of ''South Pacific'' opposite Peter Kapetan as Emile.〔 She commented: "It was just a little awkward to be Nellie at first because she hesitates to marry Emile since he had once lived with a Polynesian woman – I don't agree with her reasoning so that made things a bit hard at the beginning." She appeared in a student video directed by classmate Jonathan Meath in a film class taught by Steve Marx. She graduated in 1974 with the academic honor of "cum laude" which was awarded to 80 out of 378 graduating seniors. She majored in theater at Wesleyan University, worked in summer stock productions during vacations, and graduated in 1978.〔 Later, in an interview, she reported that she sometimes had eating issues during this time of her life.〔 She said: "I binged... I starved ... I was one step from anorexia – a piece of toast and an apple would be all I would eat in a day."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dana Delany」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
