Family

- Is the sister-in-law actor Cole Hauser.
- Her parents are Carolyn and Chartlon B. Daniel Jr.
Trivia
- She was a cheerleader in high school.
- She's really into photography for the longest time and went into it professionally after the "Sweet Valley High" TV show ended, retiring from acting.
- Along with her twin-sister Brittany, she modeled for a lot (mostly pushing the twin gimmick) and doing ads for "Doublemint Gum," "Twix" and "McDonald's."
- She and the rest of the cast of the "Sweet Valley High" TV show modeled for numerous covers of the book series.
- She was a cheerleader in high school, like the Jessica Wakefield character on "Sweet Valley High" (though she played Elizabeth on the show). Although she played Elizabeth, she was a lot more like the Jessica character--more wild and flirtatious, not taking school seriously and preferring to party.
- Her favorite TV shows are "Seinfeld," "Party of Five" and "My So-Called Life."
- Cynthia and her twin sister Brittany each have matching tattoos of miniature twins holding hands on their left big toes. Cynthia's tattoo has the letters B & C above it, and Brittany's has a C & B.
- She remains especially close to her "Sweet Valley High" co-star Amy Danles-Pope, also a retired actress. She even has taken professional pictures of her and has them on her personal "Cynthia Daniel Photography."
- The very last television appearance was on her twin sister Brittany's short-lived "That '80's Show" where her sister's character Brittany is jealous that Cynthia's character is getting married even though "she's an ugly troll." And the joke is at the end, they look exactly alike.
- Cynthia is a vegetarian.
- She enjoys running and surfing.
- She was Homecoming Queen of her high school.
Quotes
- "I decided to pursue photography because I love it so much more than acting. I still do commercials which fills that acting urge."
- "I think twins have this special bond... because we're so much alike."
- "Gosh, I've kissed so many guys on 'Sweet Valley High'!"
- "I'm taking a photography class. And I love it. I never get out because they don't let me at work."
- (On her sister): "She's great. I love Brittany so much. She's always been such a big support."
