Claire Danes first appearance on Letterman

[H9B9C9]

hhaah her face at 3.16

[YManCyberDude]

Dave always had a thing for younger chics.... Remember Smitty ?

[IndigoRockGirl94]

'Aries' aren't supposed to get nervous'

'Alright I'll see what I can do'

:D

[MrRevDavid]

The way these two go back and forth with their comments remind me of watching Dean Martin with any number of people he did a skit with, even at this young age she was indeed witty and hilarious.

[belledead]

i saw this in an old file

JOIN THE BOYCOTT! DO 'NOT' WATCH THE NEW MOVIE "BROKEDOWN PALACE'S"

STARRING THE "PERSONA NON GRATA" herself, CLAIRE DANES

Celebrities are saying they will 'not' go see the Claire Danes' new

movie, Brokedown Palace's. Bruce Willis, Oprah, Denzel Washington,

Rosie O'Donnel are just the few celebrities who publicly declared that

they'll join the boycott.

"I can only hope she chokes on it." said Oprah, talking about Ms.

Claire Danes' acerbic tongue --People's Magazine

[xutaxure]

@belledead Danes was quoted in Vogue as saying that Manila was a "ghastly and weird city."She further remarked in Premiere that the city "smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over and that there is no sewage system and the people do not have anything — no arms, no legs, no eyes."wiki

[KusinerneAF]

I love her, she's so cute!<3

[thehkitty1]

she's like Andy by Dawson's Creek..so cute!!

[skyetrance]

yay thanks for posting this. i remember watching this when it was on tv. love her!

[Pitoupine]

shes so adorable i really like her personality

[AvaNonGrata]

Pervy old men disgust me.

[meeces13]

@AvaNonGrata because you yourself are vile and corrupt and suspect? im not seeing what youre seeing

[PieceofMindmusic]

she one of the most beautiful women i can think of <3

[KreyaHammond]

I love her! I like her with red hair from My So-Called Life. :3

[Tangerines13]

she is my absolute HEROINE. I WISH i was her.

[knotightul]

She's so cool! 16 year olds aren't quite like this anymore

[tatjana1707]

she does look older here,i would give her like 18-19..but she seems much mature than her age,and she was so cute back then...and she STILL IS ;)

[jbohler33]

what a cock tease

[kiikat]

such a fun interview

great dynamic

love them both here

[blathynblethyn]

"Can... can you come back, every night?"

[velvetfog]

I love em white girls.

[sampit999]

She was so beautiful then.  Like a Goddess.

[chocoholic88dx]

...

[slikkyboy]

the old cliches..."ages like wine"..."rose blossoms with age..."

sad that she doesn't fall into this category....god...she WAS beautiful...

[bebaslepas]

where's andrew now? :D

[clhough]

So fun to see her like that again. She's such a treat to watch, even today.

[xsarixkorn]

she make me cry in her movie juliat

[pomegranateish]

He's totally creepy

[irhjma30000]

"I'm nervous now cuz I had no idea you were 16!" Yeah Dave, now you can't hit on her and oversexualize her in your jokes.

[saiyanveg]

wow its insane how pretty she looked back then.... bly me!!

[Hogwartian]

she's very charming. i feel like she could have been so much more successful.

[rudyxrudy]

great

[consularfnj]

i like this show..very well entertaining

[teresa13junio]

she reminds me to anna paquin

[Axl207]

why didnt her career ever go anywhere she seems so smart and shes fucking gorgeous weird how things turn out for some and not for others look at the success that megan fox has had and she has no charm whatsoever really depends on good fortune i guess

[Mio248]

Hey!!! Her B-Day is right before my B-Day!!! April 13(mine)!!! Hell Yeah, Aries rule!!!

[rlpDean]

she's very witty lol!  =D she keeps verbally burning him!!

[eloman101]

wow she is so beautiful!!!!!

[psxdumy]

sorry about the other night?

[Elsid1111]

Peado

[scorchoman]

Holy crap it's April the 12th today. Happy birthday to both of them. She'll always be the cutest actress to me. Between My So-Called Life and Stardust she'll always have that title.

[zidazaza]

КЛЭР КРАСАВИЦА!ОНА ОЧЕНЬ СЭКСУАЛЬНАЯ!!!ЕЩЁ БЫ ГРУДЬ НА ОДИН ДВА РАЗМЕРА БОЛЬШЕ!!!БЫЛО БЫ СУПЕР!!!

[lonelycompany]

David Letterman was so much more witty when he was younger.

[juliet97]

he was funny. before he got all political. now he should have his show on msnbc. He was funny in these days. Like how he would scream after her comment. funny stuff. lol

[iamthesiver]

claire danes is AWESOME shes very beautiful in stage even more ^^

[imdbstar]

letterman was creepy. even 15 years back xD

[SuperstarTomDerTroll]

1:15 winner!!!

[Lastlimbo]

1:48 is the best bit lol

[simmsinns]

bitch caused the cancellation.

[NicoleLuvsJB]

i love claire!

[alexforever411]

Letterman is like the creepy old guy now. It hasn't affected his ratings though.

Dave needed to stop mention her age... then 'are you dating'?

She so adorable.

[aslesur]

Why is everyone describing Letterman as creepy here? I think this is a funny interview and they get along really well.

[danesoctavian]

Claire Danes has the same family name as me...))

[jenita0416]

David Letterman doesn't have a good talk show personality. He cannot bring out the best of his guests. He's like... cornering them instead.

[18Dulcedeleche]

Yeah, that explains why Late Night with David Letterman has been on the air for 27 YEARS!! Go spread your BS somewhere else, pal...

[aboverim]

Letterman brought out the best in Drew Barrymore, Farrah Fawcett and Madonna(she even got pizza!)

[kevinlmanon]

30 March also Aries :D haha

[vctop101dunk]

I LOVE U!

[darnitalltohell]

Wow, Letterman was creepy back then too.

[jonkilik]

she was she is and will be a amazing actress and beutiful woman

[Dednyz]

Woah! I'm an april 12th girl

[gerby90]

wow women do mature more quickly. i'm 19 and i wouldnt call myself mature, damn i envy her and her success..

[taeyeonielover2008]

david was hideously being a perv.

[123doremee]

shes so cute I cant stand it!!

[chipuraable]

it is impossible not to like this girl. lovely Claire Danes

[lpycb42]

It's seriously creepy the way Dave is all over her in ever interview.

[alexforever411]

Yes... especially this week.

[ThePomiget1]

she was very beautiful...but now ...what happened to her?

[TheMoc76]

exactly, I can't believe it. In Romeo+Juliet she was unbelievable. I think she just got skinny and it doesn't suit her features

[sgtcampsalot]

Haha, it's called metabolism, it starts heading out in the early twenties :P

[jrkb300]

she's lovely

[SerziQ]

LOL Hang10 Baltimore!

[SuperMalicia]

claire danes que amor de nenina. hoje uma linda mulher.

[horrorfanatic6990]

I have loved this girl since i was a young kid<3

[EthanCruise]

She was the first girl i loved... even before i knew i liked girls! lol

[wrapasponge]

I love Claire.

[MDSguy]

she did very well in r&j, what a sweet girl

[cilourock]

She's adorable!

I discovered her in the part of Juliet, she's an amazing actress!

[kowalityjesus]

claire danes for president

[AshTheMovieGeek]

She's so sweet.

[leereyno]

I've been totally enthralled with her since I first laid eyes on her almost 15 years ago. She is the very definition of marriage material. I was surprised when she said she was 16 in this clip, though Dave looking so young should have been a clue. He's right, she was very poised and centered at that age. She just tuned 30 a few days ago and I'm still crazy about her. The only bad thing is that it seems she's a lefty. Oh well, blame it on the corruption of our culture and educational system

[copyright1982]

O.....K.

[ohkenya]

Claire Danes isn't left-handed.

[MusikalW]

Marriage material? lol, I wonder if that's the same thing Billy Cudrup thought when he left his pregnant live-in girlfriend for Claire.

[MSSL06]

"shakedown, 1979. cool kids never have the time. On a live wire off the street. you and I should meet...." ahh...bests song ever. smashing pumpkins<3 she said 1979 it reminded me of the song.

[hockeyfan1111]

Dave wants her so bad. Classic clip.

[Assassins1997]

i am in love with her

[Aquacatl09]

Stop slouching, Claire!!

[30STMJaredLetoLover]

so was she wearing a wig in "My so called Life?"because she is in that show at the time of this video and her hair is Blond in this video but in the show her hair is Maroon and in Romeo and Juliet it's the same way

[grlyone01]

they just used the wash out kind of red hair color .. if you noticed that the red faded fastly in the show

[reltonpelton]

man, ive been crushing on that girl for like thirteen years.

one day she will come nack to me

[MISANTHROPY647]

Haha! Me too, since Romeo and Juliet.

[kilmenyanne]

wow, she's much smarter and sassier than most actresses twice her age. still rockin', clare!

[uke52]

@kilmenyanne now at age 32, she is "twice her age" :) gotta love claire

[rkau8671]

i love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wishworks]

She was engaging as hell.

[OMGitspeyton]

She is absolutely beautiful!

I saw her on romeo and juliet with leonardo dicaprio

[30STMJaredLetoLover]

i saw her in that too i also saw her in My so called Life with the Great Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano (she played Angela)

[compress]

she's adorable.

she's so delightful. whoever said airhead is a complete dumbass. she's fun

[liquidyou]

She was so nervous here, poor thing.

[Missmoxie911]

holy shit. 1979. I was born in 1991. and Im her age now... weird.

[jdobluvrs]

i'm her age too!!! except i was born in 1992

[boyonsteps]

i was born on this day!

[mightyPants]

wow

[Wordlaw50]

Who cares boy on those steps

[bbperv]

she looks a BIT like franka potente

[lovelypinkflower]

Yeah! You're right I had never noticed but she does!

[sabri491]

I'm sorry but it's true. It's dissappointing.

[shenu728]

She's not an airhead. She's young.

[HailAnts]

Good god, this was 13 years ago!! I remember it like it was yesterday! She was still in 'Angela Chase'-mode. Such a sweet cutie.

[henryb1992]

she smokes???

[jdobluvrs]

letterman seems like a perverted old man

[singingsagittarius]

i think so too.

[munchkindelite]

I love how she jumps when Dave yells out of the blue. She's so adorable in this interview. She's still a cutie.

[BUnitLives]

This isn't her first appearance. She was on the Jon Stewart show when she was 15.. It's here on youtube somewhere...

[dinosauravenger1989]

First appearance on Letterman.

[BUnitLives]

Hrm.. I somehow missed that. My bad =/

[SadisticChicken]

Clare Danes is a pretty dull actress. She plays every role the same. she couldn't bring it if you tied it around her neck like a porkchop.

[evey826]

go jerk off :)

[EnzoF288]

Claire has gotten older but she is still gorgeous.

[jleupp]

Absolutely not, did you see her in Stardust? I really used to have a thing for her during Rome + Juliet

[quickdisco]

i used to be nuts over claire danes during the Romeo + Juliet period.. however i would like to disagree.. she looks like she aged in Stardust now..even in stardust. have to agree with Ghostzeus that she looked more attractive in her teens. oh well. we all grow old. =P

[iangordoncraig]

I swear I didn't know she was only 16.

Do I have to take my posters down now??

[rainiathecloud]

This happened more then 12 years ago.

[sirnoobalot1337]

lolz

[AnneOCfanDK]

She's so lovely. :)

[hectorgerch]

10!

[WinstonRed]

She looks really sexy in that dress. I kinda miss the whole simplicity of the 90's. Gives you something to dream about.

[finalfan321]

Cute

[krystlerita]

I love her

She was the perfect choice to play Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter in TO GILLIAN ON HER 37TH BIRTHDAY

[88keysinarow]

fun interview

[roglows]

yeah, she's quite irresistable.

[amankaur240]

hey...i live in baltimore

[titanicfanz]

so do I!!!

[Purple4Rock]

i hate it that i hate her cuz she's such a good actress...i used to really admire her until i found out about what she said concerning the philippines (my country)!!! i know you cant judge a person based on a comment but she went to far and i cant help but really dislike her for that....

[audisport]

oh was it about the cleanliness? She's so sheltered, she's never been to the various ghetto's in the US which are pretty much the same, if not worst.

[carrotdrop4]

Purple4rock what was the comment, cos a lot hav ppl on utube hav mentioned that she made a bad comment about the philippines..wot did she say?

[aboxofjosh]

In 1998, after filming Brokedown Palace in the Philippines, Danes told reporters on the film's promotional tour that Manila was a "ghastly and weird city" that "smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over, and there is no sewerage system, and the people do not have anything -- no arms, no legs, no eyes."

en.wikipedia . org /wiki/Claire_Danes#Controversy

[Tempast101]

wat did she say about the Philippines?!?!?!?

[im2kewl4ya]

the philippines is dirty and gross, i think

well, according to imdb some derogatory remarks

[Purple4Rock]

not only that... when they were filming near (or maybe inside) a hospital, she was complaining about some woman who couldn't stop screaming/crying... is it the woman's fault that she can't stop crying cuz she's suffering!?? and who complains that people have missing eyes and legs? can't she just feel bad for them or something?

FYI... don't listen to her comment, the philippines isn't ALL like that... they just filmed at a really bad location that even I don't go anywhere near there...

[alphamidget]

Haha, Claire Danes and David Letterman make a pretty good interviewing pair. It's hard to believe she's only 16 here.

[Topher286]

She's so lovely.

[Emorose2932]

She is so down to earth, i luv her she ia a great actres with a great personality =)

[jullieldelune]

I LOVE HER! she is so amazing!

[loveyah04]

I love this interview

Claire is Soo cute here.

Shes my favorite actress!!!

[moorejavajunkie]

she is the most amazing actress in the world!

[nexthammertime]

She is the perfect young star!

[impossiblesparks]

Couldn't have said it better, DylanGaine. Young stars should follow her example.

[roseshine]

Oh God, she was youger than me there °_°

[DylanGaine]

what a diff between our teen celebs then and now

[danh5150]

LOL! Well said DylanGaine.

[hummingfish]

He said sorry because she got bumped the previous night IIRC.

[phishfollower]

What was Dave talking about at the beginning? "I just wanted to tell you sorry for the other night?" Anyone know??

[tubeoh]

Who's this Andrew jerk? I want to go back in time and rough him up, Marty McFly style.

[grprsa]

I loved what you said! LOL! "Marty McFly style!" LOL!

[EnzoF288]

She looks delicious on there.

[alecjahn]

Woot for Apr. 12th.

[yumchatakeaway]

MY BDAY IS APRIL 12.. I LOVE THEM!! <3

[siffil8]

[MayraLuz]

[Tempast101]

[BrOnWyN]
