Daniella Macolino

Daniella Maria Macolino (born October 6, 1991) is an American actress and model in New Jersey. Daniella is the second child to parents Michele and Michael, both of Italian descent. At the age of 4 months, Daniella was diagnosed with a blood disorder called Thalassemia, which requires her to receive blood transfusions regularly. However, Daniella never let that stop her from following her dream. The Macolino family are no strangers to having a performer around. Michael's older sister Virginia Macolino modeled and acted in TV shows such as Baretta. She was also the original lead singer for the band Berlin. Having preforming in her blood from a young age, Daniella always loved being the life of every family event performing whenever an audience was available. In middle school, Daniella joined the chorus and drama clubs and at that time her passion for acting developed. She began taking professional acting classes with Donna Marrazzo at the New Jersey Repertory Company in Long Branch, NJ.
