We first said "Cripes!" to Claire Keim when this French work of art unveiled her pastries (and some prime furburgerage) in J'irai au paradis car l'enfer
est ici (1997)--although we were just as happy to see Claire being pretty in blue during her topless scene in Barracuda (1997). And now she's become an
international star with the arthouse hit The Girl (2000), a stunning saga of lesbian loving where Claire defines femininity in the title role. In fact,
she defines it by playing a nightclub singer who drives a lovely butch gal crazy with her schizo ways. Claire, fortunately, proves she can be just as
inspired with men during her wild sex scenes in the TV movie Il Giovane Casanova (2002). Previously, her biggest American exposure had been playing a
waitress in a 1994 episode of the syndicated series Highlander, but Claire's working on her English and planning to move into American
productions--starting with a role in the low-budget Ripper: Letter from Hell (2001).
Skinfo: Hey, guys, Claire went to see Star Wars (1977) over twenty times! Finally, a woman who can understand us! (But, to be honest, we're not sure if
she means the original or The Phantom Menace [1999]. That could matter.)
Quote: "Oddly, when I go to the cinema, I identify more with the male characters than the female. Similar when I read a script. I am always frustrated by
the female roles. Do not ask me why--I do not know it myself."
