First time I can remember seeing her was in "Holocaust" with Michael
Moriarty (!), Fritz Weaver (also !), James Woods & Meryl Streep.
She also did a memorable turn opposite James Woods in "Citizen Cohn,"
a great HBO film.

I would say, incidentally, that Danielle Melnick is the most dynamic,
charismatic, and apparently sincere defense attorney I have ever
seen on the show.
