CLAIRE DANES - DANES DODGES THE PRESS IN NEW YORK

CLAIRE DANES loves the opportunity to make movies abroad, because she feels like a sitting target for the press in her native New York. The actress has spent much of 2006 and 2007 shooting in the U.K. - and relishes the opportunity to escape the American media when she gets the chance. She says, "In New York they know where I live, so if it's a slow news day they'll come knocking."
