It is legend, now, this story of a young woman, cloaked in a flannel dress, who navigates the treacherous currents of 1990s American youth; witnessing it originally, coming to know the character played by a girl born about a week before us, we felt the full flowering of a turbulent adolescence. (Also, Ricky was cool.) Reviewing Pygmalion, Jeremy McCarter says that Claire Danes plays Eliza as both “the duckling and the swan.” See her here—in this deluxe DVD set that comes with a book of liner notes—as the lovely duckling she’ll likely always be remembered as.
