Actress Daphne O'Neal visits Madame Perry's Salon

From writing, public speaking and to acting. Daphne O'Neal has done it all. From the movie Futurestates to 13 Reasons Why! 

A panel appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show (1986) marked the start of her on-camera career. Her love of opera and ballet, along with her Harvard degree, suited her to the tongue-in-cheek portrayal of a "snob." By the end of the show, Daphne had won over the skeptical Chicago audience. Buoyed by the experience, she began auditioning for plays. First cast as the Postulant in The Sound of Music at Boston's Wheelock Family Theatre, Daphne went on to portray lead character Silvia in The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare. In 2009, Daphne was the only San Francisco actor hired for Ranch Studios' Corruption.Gov (2010), headlined by Lee Majors, Michael Madsen and Joe Estevez.

She played the terrified victim of a gun-toting terrorist, a judge on film in the PBS short Futurestates,  Daphne played a TV reporter in the indie ballet feature Hope Dances, Marcus Cole's mother in Season 2 of 13 Reasons Why, a narcissistic boss in the improv comedy short 8 Daves A Week and pulled off a cameo appearance in a redhot hip-hop artist music video. 
Daphne voices documentary, educational, animated and radio/TV projects and appears regularly in commercials, and sang Lead Alto in a chorus of 12 in Scott Joplin's opera Treemonisha at San Francisco's venerated Stern Grove Festival.. She has hosted live and taped PBS-TV fundraisers, among other programs.
