Book Reviews of Claire Danes
Book Review: Nice photos, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I've admired Claire Danes ever since Brokedown Palace. I always enjoy reading biographies of the people that interest me, so I was pleased when I came upon this book. It wasn't quite what I was hoping for. It's informative, but nothing in depth. The author didn't interview Claire, her family, her friends or her costars. She did get some info from a couple of her former instructors. She mostly quotes from material that was already out there and even makes an undocumented statement or two that are little more than educated guesses. It seems to be aimed at a younger audience judging from the style of writing, so maybe I'm expecting too much. Kind of like a really long article from a teen magazine. This book came out in 2000, so it's not exactly up to date either. That being said, there's 16 pages of nice color photos and several in black and white. It's an attractive if somewhat thin volume, well bound, and comes with an episode summary from My So Called Life to help fill out some space. As far as I know, this is the only biography of Claire in print, so if you want a book on Claire Danes, this is it.
