Dany Verissimo (born Dany Tiana Terence Verissimo on June 27, 1982 in France, porn actress name Ally Mac Tyana) is an actress and an ex-pornographic actress and model.
Although Verissimo grew up in Vitry-sur-Seine, France, she did much travelling during her youth -- given that her father was the financial director of Air France. At 17, she eventually was kicked out of her mother's house because of a misunderstanding with her new stepfather and attempted to pursue a career as a film actress. After many deceptions and not enough money to afford an Actor's famous school she entered the French porn industry when she was 18 and a half. Thereafter, she began her sixteen month stint in the industry, mainly in the form of a pornographic model during 2001 and 2002. During this time, she called herself "Ally Mac Tyana", which was a spin on the name Ally McBeal, during her work on the 2001 television series XX elles. She left the porn industry just after she got married.
Finally, she landed a role as Lola in 2004's Banlieue 13, role made for her by Luc Besson himself.
After a painful divorce in 2005, she still pursues her career as an actress and model : she recently landed role as Belkis in C'est Gradiva qui vous appelle the latest film directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet which was shown out of competition at the Venice Film Festival in September 2006.
In May 2006, in the ELLE magazine for the Special Cannes Edition she was recognized as one of the new upcoming actresses.
