Claire Danes mini-bio: Danes is perhaps most famous as Angela Chase in the 1994 television drama series My So-Called Life for which she won a Golden Globe Award and received an Emmy nomination, followed by her role as Juliet in Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo + Juliet.

In 1999, while filming for Brokedown Palace, she and all material related to her were “banned” from the Philippines after she publicly criticized the capital, Manila, as "ghastly" and "smells like cockroaches". She later apologized for the comments, which she said were "taken out of context." However, she remains banned from the country to this day.

Her first role in an animated feature came in 1999 with the English version of Princess Mononoke.

In 2002, Danes starred opposite Susan Sarandon and Kieran Culkin in Igby Goes Down. She later co-starred as Meryl Streep's daughter in the Oscar-nominated The Hours, with Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, and Ed Harris. The following year, she was cast in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Stage Beauty in 2004. She earned critical acclaim in 2005 when she starred in Steve Martin's Shopgirl alongside Martin and Jason Schwartzman, and in The Family Stone opposite Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Keaton. In 2007, Danes will appear in the fantasy epic Stardust opposite Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert DeNiro, and Sienna Miller, and in The Flock, opposite Richard Gere.

Danes appeared in Off-Broadway plays including Happiness, Punk Ballet, and Kids On Stage, in which she choreographed her own solo dance.
