| Claire achieved quick fame (and a Golden Globe) in her teens by starring in the short-lived TV series My So-Called Life, which she followed with a string of high-profile turns in mid-'90s films such as Little Women, U Turn and Romeo and Juliet. Most recently, she has appeared in The Hours and is set to star in the upcoming Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. |

| Claire's sensitive thoughtfulness makes this 24-year-old actress very likeable, and it was surely the driving force behind her early stardom. But we give her even more credit for putting her promising career on the backburner to get a college degree. Now that that's out of the way, Claire is poised to become a bigger and brighter star than ever before. |

Claire Catherine Danes was born in New York City on April 12th, 1979, into what she would later describe as a "very creative household." Her father, Chris, a computer consultant and architectural photographer, and her mother, Carla, a painter and teacher, first met at the Rhode Island School of Design. Both Claire's parents encouraged her participation in the arts at an early age. Claire also has a brother, Asa, six years her elder, who is a graduate of Oberlin College in Ohio and works for a non-profit organization.
At age six, Claire began classes in modern dance, which remains one of her interests to this day. At nine, she enrolled in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Claire's acting career began in "off-off-Broadway" productions such as Happiness, Punk Ballet and Kids on Stage, for which she choreographed her own dance number. In 1992, she landed a guest spot on the hit NBC series Law & Order, playing a teen model who murders her photographer-lover. |
