CLAIRE DANES: DIAMOND CELEBRITY OF THE WEEK

Today the name Claire Danes is most closely associated with the popular TV series that she stars in about a former terrorist hostage, Homeland. But I will always remember her first and foremost for her starring role in the cult hit series about teen life from almost two decades ago, My So-Called Life. Danes won a Golden Globe for her performance and Time Magazine called the show one of the 100 best TV shows of all time. Her first leading role on the silver screen was opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet. Danes is now married to actor Hugh Dancy and she just gave birth to their first child two months ago.

 
Danes is also a woman of diamonds. At the 2010 BAFTA British Academy Film Awards, Danes sported Tiffany’s pear-shaped polished diamond graduated drop earrings and a diamond multi-chain bracelet. At this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, Danes won the award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, while wearing Nathan Lane black diamond and platinum earrings and matching cocktail ring.
