"My So Called Life" centered on the bright, introspective Angela Chase, played by a 15-year-old Claire Danes, who narrated the show in voice-over while navigating the travails of adolescence. In real life, Danes was also struggling to meet the demands of an arduous shooting schedule; thus her decision not to return for a second season.
The decision did not hurt her, as roles in "Little Women," "Home for the Holidays" and "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet," playing Juliet to Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo, soon followed. Danes continued to receive film roles well into the 2000s, but it was her return to television in 2010, playing autistic veterinarian Temple Grandin in an HBO film, that earned her an Emmy and Golden Globe. She picked up her second Globe and Emmy for her role as Carrie Mathison in "Homeland." Now 33, Danes is expecting her first child with her husband, actor Hugh Dancy.
