Yellowstone: Cole Hauser's Wife Was a Star of a Long-forgotten 90s Show
Actor Cole Hauser is best known for his role in the fan-favorite neo-Western drama Yellowstone, where he plays Rip Wheeler, John Dutton's right-hand man and Beth's husband.
The actor is doing an excellent job on the series, and many fans have started to follow his personal life more closely. And to everyone's surprise, it turned out that Cole isn't the only star in his family!
Many of us who grew up watching TV shows in the late 90s may have seen his wife, photographer Cynthia Hauser (née Daniel), as the lead actress on a long-forgotten series.
Do you think you may remember her name? As you're rummaging through your memory of the 90s TV shows, we'll give you a bit more context on Cynthia.
Cynthia Daniel was born in 1976. She has a twin sister, Brittany, who is five minutes older. The Daniel sisters began modeling at the age of 11, appearing in various teen magazines and advertisements. They also started acting together and shared a breakthrough after starring in a popular teen series.
The show we're talking about is Sweet Valley High, loosely based on a series of young adult novels by Francine Pascal.
The show ran from 1994 to 1997, and during its four seasons, the girls played the roles of Elizabeth (Cynthia) and Jessica (Brittany) Wakefield, twin sisters from the fictional town of Sweet Valley, California. The comedy-drama followed the daily lives of the twins and their friends. Liz was a quiet and studious girl, while Jess had a more rebellious and extroverted personality.
For these roles, the sisters won one of the most prestigious awards for up-and-coming actors at the time — the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in 1995.
That same year, Cynthia and Brittany starred in The Basketball Diaries — an award-winning biographical drama with Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead. You probably remember them in the movie, playing twins Winkie and Blinkie.
While Brittany still appears in TV series from time to time, Cynthia has given up her acting career. However, last year, both sisters appeared as twins in the Disney-produced comedy film Cheaper by the Dozen.
Cynthia and Cole seem to be doing well and enjoying their happy 20-year marriage. In January, the couple made an appearance at the Golden Globes, wowing everyone with their gorgeous looks. "I work really hard, but at the same time too, she's at home [doing] the parenting thing. So I'm eternally grateful to have her in my life," Cole Hauser shared. The couple has three children, aged 10 to 18.
