Claire Forlani

Claire Forlani is one of those actresses from the late '90s who absolutely owned the screen whenever she appeared, and I genuinely think she never got the mainstream attention she deserved. Her role opposite Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black is probably what most people know her from, and fair enough — that film gave her this ethereal, luminous quality that felt genuinely otherworldly. But she was already doing interesting work before that, popping up in Kevin Smith's Mallrats and the Basquiat biopic, showing real range early in her career. Born in Twickenham and trained in the British tradition, she brought a kind of quiet intensity to roles that a louder actress might have steamrolled. She's one of those performers I always hope shows up in something new, because when she does, she makes it better.
