She moved into producing on “Homeland,” suggesting a desire to exert more control going forward.
Suffice to say, Danes has more than proven herself since her 1990 debut.
And, as the following years proved, indeed it was.
She’s an old soul and she is actually stronger than all the other sisters."
She took over the role after fellow child actor Natalie Portman dropped out.
“We thought that’s what Juliet needed to be,” DiCaprio argued.
“She needed to be a different Juliet and Claire brought that to it.”
Danes has “no regrets” about turning it down, clarifying, “I wasn’t conflicted.
However, her parents and team were “extremely supportive.”
The “Homeland” star noted she was a star student prior to dropping out to focus on acting.
The two met on the set of 2004 movie “Stage Beauty.”
“It was a nightmare.
I was in such agony.
I had been so stimulated and energized, and I felt really robust and capable and eager.
But I couldn’t go back to the ingenue role or the limited secretary-punch in roles.
I wanted to play someone who would move the story forward,” she explained succinctly.
Funnily enough, the next role Danes took would change her career forever.
Every season, they find new ways to scare me.”
The actor continued, “The show is like a diamond that fell from the sky.
I’ll always feel slightly bludgeoned by it, but in the best way possible.”
Danes won severalEmmy Awardsfor her portrayal of tortured protagonist Carrie Mathison.
The happy couple tied the knot in France in 2009, and subsequently welcomed two sons (perPopSugar).
I can apply myself in other ways now.
I have more time and energy to get s*** done."
Danes wondered whether her best work was behind her, admitting, “It was confusing.
I got a lot of plaudits, and it didn’t translate into more work.
I was really, really struggling during that time.”
Someone suggested, ‘Maybe your real success is in your personal life.'"
Thankfully, Danes managed to work through it.
