Danielle Cormack first gained widespread recognition as Bea Smith in the Australian TV prison drama Wentworth, a role she played during the series' first four seasons from 2013 to 2016.

Over the past 39 years, she has built a diverse body of work across film and television, appearing in everything from romantic fantasies to gritty crime dramas. Her filmography includes 1997's Topless Women Talk About Their Lives, 1999's Channelling Baby, and 2000's The Price of Milk, as well as TV series like The Strip, Rake, and Underbelly: Razor. In 2023, she appeared in the streaming drama Year Of.

Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Cormack has also stepped behind the camera as a director and producer. She is bisexual and has been open about her sexuality throughout her career. She has appeared nude on-screen at least eight times, with roles often featuring full frontal and rear nudity; these include Channelling Baby, Wentworth, and Year Of. She performed in solo scenes and has done girl-girl kissing on screen, and she has also taken on roles involving pregnancy. Off screen, she was in a relationship with Pana Hema Taylor from 2009 until 2013. She has two children: one with Taylor and one from a previous relationship. Cormack has no tattoos and no piercings. She stands 5'6" tall with a slim build.
