Claire Forlani, who was born in Twickenham, started her acting career young at the Arts Educational School in London, juggling her stage training with ballet dancing.
The screen star re-located to San Francisco with her parents aged 23, when the movie roles starting clocking up.
She rocketed to small-screen fame on TV series JFK: Reckless Youths before bagging one of her most iconic rolls in Mallrats in 1995.
Claire played Brandi Svenning in the US comedy movie, which also featured Ben Affleck and Shannen Doherty.
A year later, she played Sean Connery’s daughter in The Rock.
After bolstering her acting CV with stints alongside a number of Hollywood stars, she joined forces with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins in 1998 movie Meet Joe Black.
The romantic fantasy drama sees Antony’s character Bill Parrish visited by Death, who wants to a deal in the living world.
Brad plays Joe Black, who is Claire’s character Susan Parrish’s romantic interest.
Claire, who sports the same shoulder-length locks and natural beauty as she did almost three decades ago, has spoken about her film success.
The star, who has since coloured her hair an auburn shade and takes to her Instagram page to post an array of glam snaps and make-up free selfies said: “It’s nice now when people come up to me.
“When people talk about films from decades ago there’s something very cool about that; it’s nice they’re still being watched.”
She added to The Independent: “With Meet Joe Black it’s fathers, that film is all about the father, daughter thing.”
Since 1998, Claire has starred in flicks including Green Street Hooligans, Boys and Girls, The Medallion and Camelot, to name a few.
Off-screen, she married Scottish actor Dougray Scott, 58, in 2007.
The pair, who said I Do in Italy, share a son Milo.
She told The Independent how, after turning 40, she didn’t shy away from more daring roles.
She told the publication: “The brilliance of this job is that you can just go with it, you don’t know what’s round the corner then something shows up and it’s the next challenge and a great group of people.
“Death to me would be doing the same thing over and over.”
Yet fans still reckon she looks the same since her Nineties film stardom.
She uploaded a recent selfie with the words: “About to start a taping, the natural light is lovely which is always a plus. Hair looking a tad orange?”
One fan was quick to put: “You are stunning.”
Another added: “Wonderful beauty,” a third then wrote: “Always pretty.”
