Claire Danes: Fairytales Meet Reality

Once again, Claire Danes has been able to take a complex character study and reduce all of the issues to their most basic elements. In her recent role in Stardust, directed by Matthew Vaughn, Claire plays a fairytale star come to life and cast down to Earth.

Stardust is about the journey that Claire’s character takes as she is forced to tackle several real life issues while on the run with a handsome prince (It’s Hollywood). Central to the story is how Danes’ character deals with: adolescence, adulthood, trust and independence.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes Do Stardust

Last night under the glittering lights of Los Angeles, a bevy of beautiful stars were in attendance for the premiere of Stardust, which opens across the country on August 10th.

The Dangerous Minds actress’ role encompasses an old witch preying on the youth to steal their inner power, with co-star Claire Danes playing the perfect foil. Transforming Pfeiffer from star to hag was a four hour process that included wigs, cosmetics, prosthetics, and fake liver spots.
