Claire is a pretty girl, but I don't find much to love here. She's insanely skinny without any breasts to speak of, and I don't find her face to be all that stunning. In this case, the whole package doesn't really come together for me. She's not even one of those girls who isn't all that good looking but is insanely talented. I've never really been blown away by her acting abilities. Attending Yale University beginning fall 1998. [1998] Dated actor Matt Damon. [1996] Chosen by "People" magazine as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.
