Claire Danes waving hello to one lucky spectator.

Claire Danes is having a good year.

Not only did the former “My So-Called Life” star gain accolades for her raw performance in Showtime’s “Homeland,” but she was also named by Woman of the Year by Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals.

The student theater group names a man and woman of the year annually, and crowns them in a processional noted for its outlandish gender-bending costumes.
