Danielle Andrea Harris (born June 1, 1977) is an American actress, who appeared as Molly Tilden, a next-door neighbor of the Conners and a classmate and "frenemy" to Darlene in seven episodes of Roseanne, with a return appearance in The Conners. Harris is perhaps best known for her roles in four films in the Halloween series. She is considered a "scream queen" for her multiple horror film roles, four of them in the Halloween series: in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) as Jamie Lloyd, and in the new versions of Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009) as Annie Brackett. Other such turns include portraying Tosh in Urban Legend (1998), Belle in Stake Land (2010) and taking over the lead role of Marybeth Dunston in the Hatchet series, for Hatchet II (2010) and Hatchet III (2013).
Beside her scream queen reputation, Harris is known as a former child actor whose career has grown to include various independent films as well as blockbusters such as Marked for Death (1990), The Last Boy Scout (1991), Free Willy (1993), Daylight (1996) and the aforementioned Halloween films. She is also noted for her voice acting, which includes her role of Debbie Thornberry for the complete TV series run of The Wild Thornberrys (1998–2004) and related films The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) and Rugrats Go Wild (2003), and her role of Sierra on the TV series Father of the Pride (2004–2005). Harris' directorial debut, the horror comedy Among Friends, was released in 2013.
