For example, the Tombstone star dated an 11-year-old wine specialist and a 14-year-old writer. Her fondness for younger guys has undoubtedly provided an unusual twist to her romantic life. “I can’t go any younger than that!” she exclaims. “That is my limit.

When I was in my 20s, I discovered I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted, including leaving clothing on the floor, not making my bed, and sleeping in the middle of the afternoon if I wanted to.

Dana got older and recognized how odd her path had been.
Despite her success in the spotlight, Delany often wondered if she was too ordinary to pursue an acting career.

View of the Vietnam war. Dana Delany is still most known for her portrayal as Colleen McMurphy, an Army nurse in Vietnam. “The part was originally written [as a] Midwestern girl and she had blonde hair – I think ‘the color of wheat’ was the description of it, because she was from Kansas — and I didn’t look like that,” according to Dana. For innumerable China Beach fans, McMurphy reflected the spirit of the era as well as the complexity of the Vietnam conflict.

“When I got the job, I felt, ‘I have no right to play this part, because I don’t have any connection to it,'” Dana told The Daily Spectrum in 1991. Coming from a middle-class family with minimal personal connections to those sent to Vietnam, she initially found it difficult to play a nurse in China Beach. However, her dedication to realistic depiction and commitment to the character had a significant impact on the series and its viewers.
“I think it was quite wise to approach it from the standpoint of women. “It was a different approach,” Dana explains. Dana’s own life got more political throughout these years.

She continues to captivate with her ageless beauty and grace. Dana wants to keep in shape and eats a nutritious diet that includes veggies, tofu, fish, and gluten-free pasta and bread. However, there was a point in her life when her perception of her own body turned poisonous.
“I binged,” she told Prevention Magazine. “I was starving. I was one step away from anorexia; I’d eat only a piece of bread and an apple in a day.” She now has a much healthier attitude regarding her shape and body. “I’ve been practicing yoga every day for almost 30 years. If I can’t do it one day, I really notice the difference. If I know I’ll be filming the next day, I avoid drinking wine the night before. That is depleting. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be born into a family of sound sleepers. I enjoy eight hours. “I can go further.”
