Claire Danes’ Hollywood choices have been pretty mixed. She’s been in some great, great films: Romeo+Juliet, Shopgirl, The Hours, and also some utterly, utterly terrible ones: Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Yeah, that was not a good movie. Not at all. Yet, even having been on screen since the age of 15, she still managed to get into one of the country’s most prestigious universities: Yale. she got Oliver Stone to write her a recommendation letter, and studied Psychology there for two years. Now, it’s arguable that she got in because of her name, the fact that she’s a legacy, and that she couldn’t hack it as she dropped out after two years to “focus on acting,” but getting that far is still pretty impressive considering many other actors out there.
