Danielle’s first screen role as an actress was as “Pretty Girl” in an episode of The Professionals (“Killer With A Long Arm”), broadcast in January 1978. Her first film role was in The Wild Geese (1978), but her first credited part, in the same year, was in Carry On Emmannuelle, the last film in the original Carry On… series. One reviewer commented “Many of the stalwarts are featured but, apart from Kenneth Williams, they are reduced to support for the eponymous heroine in the athletic and long-legged person of Suzanne Danielle”. Also that year she filmed The Golden Lady, playing a leading part alongside Ina Skriver; the movie was released in 1979. In Arabian Adventure (also 1979) she plays a dancer and does a belly dance for Christopher Lee’s Caliph. Her last film was The Trouble with Spies (1987, but filmed in 1984), in which she played opposite Donald Sutherland and Michael Hordern.

She took to the theatre in 1982, in a touring production of John Murray’s two-person comedy The Monkey Walk, opposite Patrick Mower. This travelled as far afield as Singapore and New Zealand.

In 1983, she starred in an exercise instruction album on vinyl and cassette, in the Shape Up and Dance series.

In 1985, Danielle played the lead in a Christmas pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk at Richmond, Surrey, supported by Jimmy Edwards, Kenneth Connor and Joan Sims.

For seven years, Danielle was the girlfriend of the actor Patrick Mower. In 1986, she met golfer Sam Torrance, who proposed to her in 1987 on a Concorde flight on the way to play in the Ryder Cup in Columbus, Ohio. They were married in 1988, a surprise marriage that was arranged at Skibo Castle. She and Torrance have four children.
