Claire Forlani Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Claire Forlani was born on July 1, 1972 in London, England to a British mother and an Italian father who made his living managing a music producer. At age 11, Claire enrolled in London's Arts Educational School, where she studied dance and drama for the next six years. Her early theater credits include The Nutcracker Ballet at the Covent Garden and Orpheus in the Underworld at the Coliseum. In 1991, Claire ventured into the realm of UK television. She made two appearances on the series Press Gang (playing the part of Judy Wellman) and appeared on the program Shrinks. In 1992, Claire spent 11 weeks in war-torn Zagreb, Croatia, to appear in her first feature film Gypsy Eyes (released on video in the United States as C.I.A. Trackdown). Claire made just one film in 1997 (due to the passing of her mother), the decidedly downbeat, semi-autobiographical The Last Time I Committed Suicide. Her performance as the deeply disturbed girlfriend of beat poet Neal Cassady won her further critical praise. Given the insurance of a strong critical reputation, she showed no hesitation in walking off the set of the undersea thriller Deep Rising following a creative dispute with director Stephen Sommers. That movie failed at the box office in early 1998, and Claire ended up on the cover of Vanity Fair -- as one of a dozen rising stars. Months later, she incited the envy of women everywhere when Meet Joe Black arrived in theaters. She also appeared in Basil, which was screened at a few festivals before airing on the Romance Classics cable channel and released on video shortly thereafter. In 1999, Claire appeared in the summer action flick Mystery Men, with the likes of Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, Paul Reubens, Ben Stiller, and William H. Macy. Claire will be featured in a romantic drama Elements, with Rob Morrow. She has finished her work in the indie comedy film Magicians, with Alan Arkin. She is currently filming her next role in Boys And Girls, which co-stars Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, and Heather Donahue. She will also star in the low-budget vampire picture Johnny Domino. Claire is currently single, though she has been in a relationship with John Cusack. | |||||||||||||
