Claire Danes' Transformation Is Seriously Stunning

Few child stars can successfully navigate into adult roles, but Claire Danes appears to be the exception.

The gamble paid off with Showtime's "Homeland," which led to two Emmy wins for the actor. It's clear this star isn't afraid to take big risks — or to leave a few broken hearts in her wake. Here's how Claire Danes' transformation is seriously stunning.
