American actress Trieste Dunn's first major role was that of Santa Clara University student Deora Frances Bodley, one of the victims of the September 11th terrorist hijacking, in Paul Greengrass' critically worshipped docudrama United 93 (2006). Two years later, Dunn appeared in a regular role on the Julianna Margulies-headlined legal drama Canterbury's Law, playing headstrong lawyer Molly McConnell.
