Oakwood native in Cameron Diaz movie

Oakwood native Danielle Heaton is not the star of “The Box,” but sometimes the smallest roles are the biggest.

Heaton’s small speaking role and close ups in the Cameron Diaz lead horror-thriller were more than enough to make her family stand up and cheer.

“There were five people in the theater and four of us were family,”Linda Heaton, now of Kettering, said of seeing a late night screening of the film Thursday, Nov. 5, at Regal Hollywood 20 in Beavercreek.

Danielle Heaton, 23, now lives in New York, but began acting and singing locally, her mother said.

The 2005 Oakwood High School grad preformed with the Muse Machine and dragged her parents to countless early morning community theatre auditions.

She is a recent graduate of Boston’s Emerson College earning a degree in musical theater.

The Box is about an unhappily married couple that receives a deadly wooden box on their doorstep.
