IMDB has listed Claire’s upcoming movie “As Cool as I am” as complete, which means some promoting material should start soon. I made a little research for us and unfortunately no Claire stills have been released yet, as well as a release date, but I leave you with a short description on the movie’s plot.

Lucy (Bolger) is a self-confessed tomboy that is considered one of the guys with her masculine haircut and attitude. She gets on well with her father (Marsden) but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he works in Canada. Her relationship with her mother (Claire Danes) is easy-going provided she keeps the house tidy. Her mother’s lenience even allows her daughter to drive her car, even when she is too young to apply for a license.

As Lucy turns 14, she becomes more in tune with her sexuality and her family dynamics. She develops a type of friends with benefits relationship with her best friend Kenny. She also ditches her toyboy image, embraces make-up and grows out her hair. She begins to realise that her parents marriage is not as solid as she had imagined. She realises that her father’s extended stays abroad are not typical of other fathers. Furthermore she realises that her mother does not pine for her father as much as she does herself. In fact, her allegiance to her father is tested when she discovers her mother is enjoying a romance with a colleague.

She pro-actively seeks sexual satisfaction after she is left with a void when Kenny has to move away. She also begins to realise that there is more to her father’s extended stays in Canada than she had previously imagined.

It’s going to be nice to see Claire on a movie again, after such a long time, and this time playing the mother of a teenage girl – this should be interesting!

As you guys probably already noticed, our gallery finally has a new layout! What do you guys think? I love the new layout and I spent some time organizing the albums and categories which were kinda messy in order to make the gallery look prettier and easier to browse.

I organized mainly the movies section and I realized we were missing some movies to cap. For now I just added captures from To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday, a 1996 movie where Claire plays a character named Rachel.

I will be capturing the other movies we’re missing in the next few days!

Claire Danes realized Harvard was home not just to bookworms but also to drag queens on Thursday during the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ 2012 Woman of the Year celebration.

“This is so contrary to what we associate with Harvard,” said Danes, who described the experience as “wackadoodle” and “utterly trippy.”

Danes, a versatile actress who has appeared in films like “Romeo + Juliet” and theater productions like “Pygmalion,” was named the Hasty Pudding’s Woman of the Year after winning a 2012 Golden Globe Award for her role on the television series “Homeland.” With that award, Danes now has three Golden Globes, an Emmy, and a Screen Actors Guild Award under her belt, in addition to the Pudding Pot that the Hasty Pudding Theatricals bestowed upon her on Thursday in Farkas Hall.

Danes, a versatile actress who has appeared in films like “Romeo + Juliet” and theater productions like “Pygmalion,” was named the Hasty Pudding’s Woman of the Year after winning a 2012 Golden Globe Award for her role on the television series “Homeland.” With that award, Danes now has three Golden Globes, an Emmy, and a Screen Actors Guild Award under her belt, in addition to the Pudding Pot that the Hasty Pudding Theatricals bestowed upon her on Thursday in Farkas Hall.

But the Hasty Pudding Theatricals did not simply hand over the Pudding Pot to the actress. Danes, a Yale dropout, had to prove herself worthy of the award by completing a series of tasks—including a recital of a faux-Elizabethan monologue about genitals and a dance-off with a virus.

The two emcees, Hasty Pudding Theatricals president James P. Fitzpatrick ’12 and vice president Ryan P. Halprin ’12, were not shy about bashing Harvard’s Connecticut rival during their roast of Danes. Fitzpatrick said that the two years Danes spent at Yale is “a normal amount of time to spend at a community college.”

The emcees demanded that Danes earn her overdue college degree before receiving the award. The first course she had to pass was English.

One member of the Pudding, dressed as Shakespeare, mentioned Danes’ appearance in the play “Vagina Monologues” before asking her to recite a speech like those in that play. After she repeated his poem, which began with “To be or not to be, an angry lesbian,” he declared her a master of the English language.

He said, “English is not the same as math, as you have seen in Romeo plus Juliet,” referring to the 1996 movie in which she played the Shakespearean heroine alongside Leonardo DiCaprio’s Romeo.

In the consequent classes, including biology and computer science, Danes encountered a cow from “Temple Grandin,” her 2010 HBO TV movie, and a virus carrying a dance fever that challenged Danes to a dance-off—all of which were played by Hasty Pudding Theatricals members.

After Danes passed her classes, Yale’s mascot Handsome Dan, played by Matthew J. DaSilva ’12, presented Danes with her degree. When Halprin questioned whether Danes really deserved the diploma, DaSilva said, “Are you kidding me? We let just about anyone get a degree from Yale.”

Prior to the roast, Danes paraded down Massachusetts Avenue alongside the cross-dressed Fitzpatrick and Halprin in a blue Bentley convertible. Spectators lined up on the street to get a glimpse of the actress as she travelled to Farkas Hall to receive her Pudding Pot.

“You should be studying, all of you,” Danes said to the crowd.

As the car made a turn to Holyoke St., three members of the Porcellian Club tossed a stuffed pig out the window of their clubhouse. During a press conference afterward, Danes said that was her favorite part of the day.

“I actually collect stuffed pigs,” she said.

Despite the jabs about her college experience, Danes said she had a great day.

“This experience will remain forever emblazoned in my mind,” Danes said.

I added 86 HQ photos of Claire at the Harvard Hasty Woman Of The Year on last January 26th! Love her!

Showtime’s “Homeland” star Claire Danes was honored as Harvard University’s 2012 Woman of the Year by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The actress, whose turn as a CIA genius operative Carrie Mathison garnered rave reviews and award nominations, was feted through the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Danes and her husband, Hugh Dancy were served a vegetarian lunch of champagne and butter lettuce with ruby red grapefruit and avocado.

The series ended its first season on a shocker as her character was arrested, and was administered electroshock therapy, as her costar Mandy Patinkin – who plays Saul – put together her cryptic code, understanding finally what she is trying to tell authorities about returning hero/suspect Brody, played by Damian Lewis.

“I don’t know anything. I really don’t,” Danes told the Boston Herald. “But it may not be a direct time cut. Time will have elapsed, and some episodes will have been shot overseas. Maybe you see Carrie in Iraq again. I hope she’s in better shape than we last found her. I want her to wash her hair and put on some lipstick and come back swinging. She suffered some hard knocks.”
