Also, the same year she portrayed Casey Wells in the TV series “Magnificent Seven” (1998-2000), followed in 2000 by starring in the romantic drama “Dumped”.

In the early 2000s, Dana featured in several made-for television films, including the mystery drama “McBride: Murder Past Midnight” (2005), and in the family drama “A Letter to Dad”, which also increased her net worth.
