Let’s take a moment to praise Claire Danes who’s celebrating her 33rd birthday today! And without whom, there would be no patron saint for the Ally and Joanna Show.

Can you imagine a world without My So-Called Life? Without Homeland or the Temple Grandin movie? How would I live without Stardust? Could I have passed eighth grade without watching her in Romeo + Juliet? And without Ms. Danes, who would get Hugh Dancy into the Emmys or Golden Globes?

Thanks for being such a slamming actress. You consistently bring it and make TV challenging, edgy and engaging. Thanks for crying on screen without fear of looking bad. And most of all, thanks for My So-Called Life.

Oh Angela Chase, we love thee. So, so much. Have the happiest of birthdays! -A
