Early life and education
Danes was born in Manhattan, New York City,[5] the daughter of sculptor and printmaking artist Carla Danes (née Hall),[6] and photographer Christopher Danes.[7] Her older brother, Asa, is a lawyer.[8] [9] During Danes's childhood, her mother ran a small toddler day care center called "Danes Tribe" out of the family's SoHo loft, and later she served as Danes's manager.[10] Danes's father worked as a residential general contractor in New York for 20 years in a company he ran called "Overall Construction". He also worked as a photographer and computer consultant. Danes is named after her paternal grandmother, Claire Danes (née Tomowske).[11] Danes describes her ethnic origins as "WASPy as you can get".[12]
The family lived in an artist's loft on Crosby Street.[13] [14] Danes attended P.S. 3 and P.S. 11 for elementary school and Professional Performing Arts School for junior high school.[15] She attended the New York City Lab School for Collaborative Studies in Manhattan, where her future Homeland co-star Morena Baccarin and she were classmates.[16] [17] She attended The Dalton School for one year of high school before moving with her parents to Santa Monica, California, for the role in My So-Called Life. They moved two days after the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
Danes graduated from the Lycée Français de Los Angeles in 1997. In 1998, she began studies at Yale University.[18] After studying for two years as a psychology major, she dropped out to focus on her film career.
Acting career
Danes started studying dance when she was six years old.[19] She took dance classes from Ellen Robbins at Dance Theater Workshop and acting classes at HB Studio[20] the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute at the age of 10. She appeared in theater and video productions in New York City. Although she continued to dance, Danes said that her focus shifted to acting by the time she was nine years old. Her audition with Miloš Forman when she was 11 led to roles in several student films. She signed with agent Karen Friedman at the Writers & Artists talent agency at age 12.
Television
At age 13, Danes got her first big job working on the Dudley Moore TV sitcom pilot called Dudley, which was shot at Silvercup Studios in Astoria, Queens. Danes played a teenage murderer in a guest starring role on Law & Order in the season three episode "Skin Deep". She appeared in an episode of HBO's entitled "The Coming out of Heidi Leiter". In March 1993, a pilot episode was shot; it would be almost another year and a half before broadcast.
She then starred as the 15-year-old Angela Chase in the television drama series My So-Called Life.[21] For her role, she won a Golden Globe Award and received an Emmy nomination. Despite being canceled after only 19 episodes, My So-Called Life has developed a large cult following.[22] In 1995, she starred in the Soul Asylum music video for "Just Like Anyone".
In 2010, Danes returned to television starring in the HBO production of Temple Grandin, a biopic about the autistic animal scientist. She won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie. The film was well received and Grandin herself praised Danes's performance.[23]

Film
Danes played Beth March in the 1994 film adaptation of Little Women. Although ABC canceled My So-Called Life in 1995, her higher profile led to being cast in several film roles,[14] including 1995's Home for the Holidays and 1996's I Love You, I Love You Not and To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday.
Her first leading role on the big screen came in 1996, when she portrayed Juliet in the film Romeo + Juliet,[14] inspiring director Baz Luhrmann to call her, at age 16, "the Meryl Streep of her generation".[24] Later that year, it was reported that she turned down the female lead role in Titanic.[28] [29]

Danes left her career temporarily to attend Yale, having made 13 films in five years.[14] In 2002, she returned to film. She starred in Igby Goes Down. Later that year, she co-starred as Clarissa Vaughan's (played by Meryl Streep) daughter in the Oscar-nominated film The Hours. The following year, she was cast in , followed by Stage Beauty in 2004. She earned critical acclaim in 2005 when she starred in Shopgirl and The Family Stone.

She was also featured in the 2008 film, Me and Orson Welles.
Theatre
Danes got her start in New York City theater appearing in performances of Happiness, Punk Ballet, and Kids Onstage, for which she choreographed her own dance. In April 2000, she appeared off Broadway in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues. In November of that same year, she appeared as Emily Webb in a one-night-only staged reading of Thornton Wilder's Our Town at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills. The production was staged by Bess Armstrong, who had played the mother of Danes's character on My So-Called Life.[31]
In September 2005, Danes returned to New York's Performance Space 122, where she had performed as a child. She appeared in choreographer Tamar Rogoff's solo dance piece "Christina Olson: American Model", where she portrayed the subject of Andrew Wyeth's famous painting Christina's World. Olson suffered from muscular deterioration that left her weak and partially paralyzed.[32] Danes was praised for her dance skills and acting in the project.[33] [34]
In January 2007, Danes performed in Performance Space 122's Edith and Jenny.[35] Later in 2007, Danes made her Broadway theatre debut as Eliza Doolittle in the Roundabout Theatre Company revival of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, directed by David Grindley at the American Airlines Theatre.[36]

In 2015, Danes was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[42] [43]
Personal life
Danes has been in therapy since the age of six and considers it "a helpful tool and a luxury to self-reflect and get some insight".[44]
In 1998, Danes was declared persona non grata by Filipino officials. Restrictions imposed on Danes involved a ban from entering Manila or the Philippines and prohibition on distribution of her films in the region. The ban came after Danes said Manila, the capital of the Philippines, "smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over, and that there is no sewage system, and the people do not have anything – no arms, no legs, no eyes". Danes later apologized for those remarks, but they refused to lift the ban.[45] [46] [47]
Danes and her mother are supporters of the charity Afghan Hands, which helps women in Afghanistan gain independence, education, and livable wages.[48] Danes is also a long time supporter of DonorsChoose, a website that allows public school teachers to create project requests.[49] [50] [51]
Danes is a feminist and has been critical of female underrepresentation within Hollywood.[52] [53]
Relationships and family
Danes met singer Ben Lee at her eighteenth birthday party in 1997. They dated for six years before separating in 2003.[54]
In 2003, Danes began dating actor Billy Crudup, with whom she starred in Stage Beauty. Their relationship attracted significant media attention, as it led to Crudup's break-up with actor Mary-Louise Parker, who was seven months pregnant with their child at the time. Danes and Crudup's relationship lasted until 2006. Reflecting on their relationship, Danes had commented in 2015, "That was a scary thing. It was really hard. I didn't know how to not do that. I was just in love with him, and needed to explore that, and I was 24 ... I didn't quite know what those consequences would be. But it's OK. I went through it."[55] [56] [57]
Danes met actor Hugh Dancy on the set of the film Evening in 2006. They announced their engagement in February 2009 and married in France later that year.[58] [59] They have three children: two sons born in 2012 and 2018,[60] [61] and a daughter born in 2023.[62] [63] [64]
