Claire Danes says her first role after nearly a decade in hit drama "Homeland" was both "wonderful" and "scary", going from playing a CIA officer to a grieving 19th century British widow in new mini-series "The Essex Serpent". The 43-year-old actress won numerous awards for her portrayal of intrepid bipolar protagonist Carrie Mathison in the 2011-2020 show.
