Danieli Haloten (born in Curitiba[1][2] on February 21, 1980) is a Brazilian lawyer and former actress, noted for being the first blind actress to play a major role in a Brazilian soap opera, Caras & Bocas, broadcast by the Globo Network.
Haloten is blind since the age of 17 due to a glaucoma.[3]
Willing to land a role in a telenovela, Haloten contacted TV writer Walcyr Carrasco, who created a character specifically for her in Caras & Bocas.[1] She would go to the production studios with her guide dog Higgans. In a 2025 interview, she revealed she struggled with the production team, whom she claimed treated her poorly, as well as a few actors, especially because of her dog, which was eventually kept in a room while she was shooting.[2]
Following this experience, and due to her difficulty in landing more roles in television, she gave up her acting career and went to Law school.[2][1] In 2025, she was working at the Santa Catarina labour court[2][1] and keeping a profile on Instagram where she talks about accessibility and people with disabilities.[1]
