The first biography of the beautiful young star of William Shakespeare's Romeo
+ Juliet, Brokedown Palace and My So-Called Life (the critically acclaimed
television show). Claire Danes may be only twenty years old but she is one of
the most respected and sought-after young stars in Hollywood. She has been
heralded as the best actress of her generation by Steven Spielberg, and counts
her mentor Jodie Foster (who will direct her in the feature film Flora Plum,
scheduled for release in 2000) among her most ardent supporters. Claire Danes
traces the New York native's enviable life and career - from her childhood
growing up in New York City's trendy Soho district with hippie-artist parents
to her successful first year studying at Yale University. All this, and Claire
Danes seems to have had a great romantic life as well - including her current
long-term relationship with Australian rocker Ben Lee. Offering much more than
just a biography, Jennifer Ambrose pays special tribute to the show that gave
Claire her big break: the critically acclaimed but short-lived television
drama My So-Called Life. She includes commentaries on the characters,
episodes, and critical and popular reactions to the show, as well as an
account of the fans' ongoing efforts to keep it on the air. Since that career-
launching television role Claire Danes has gone on to give exceptional
performances in several major Hollywood movies: Little Women, How to Make an
American Quilt, Home for the Holidays, To Gillian on her 37th Birthday,
William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, U-Turn, The Rainmaker, Polish Wedding,
Les Misérables, The Mod Squad, and Brokedown Palace. One critic has described
her strength as the ability to offer "luminous characterizations of complex
young women" (Entertainment Weekly) and no doubt she will go on to develop
this strength in future projects. This biography will appeal not only to the
millions of Claire Danes fans and movie buffs worldwide, but also to
television memorabilia collectors and the scores of people who still adore My
So-Called Life.
