Claire Danes at a Gus Ruelas portrait session for Stardust (4 UHQ)

Claire Catherine Danes (born on April 12, 1979) is a Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated American film, television, and theatre actress.
Due to Claire Danes' "teen angst" roles in My So Called Life and Romeo + Juliet, Claire Danes became a sort of sex symbol for punk rock youth in the late 1990s. Claire Danes was the inspiration of songs by The Ataris (My So Called Life,Clara), Nice Guys Finish Last (My So Called Strife) and Size 14 (Claire Danes Poster). Additionally, the Ataris wrote a song expressing disdain for Claire Danes' then-boyfriend Ben Lee (Ben Lee, You Suck).
