Homeland actress Claire Danes is getting buzz over her new show. She has certainly come a long way since her days as Angela Chase in My So-Called Life, for which she won a Golden Globe award, and her time on the big screen as Juliet with Leonardo Dicaprio. It seems that while other actresses of her generation were out partying, Danes was more focused on honing her craft and building her career. The hard work paid off, and Danes has received numerous awards for her role as Temple Grandin in the HBO series of the same name.
Here is a look at the talented actress over the years.
