CLAIRE DANES doesn't come of age the easy way. At least twice already she's died onscreen before reaching adulthood, and in her upcoming film Brokedown Palace, directed by Jonathan Kaplan, she suffers her share of tribulations. Danes plays Alice, a wild-hearted high school grad who lies to her parents and heads off to Bangkok with her pal (Kate Beckinsale) in tow.

Our divisions come from our self-centeredness. As long as I worry about me and mine, and you worry about you and yours, the split between us will always be large. What the squirrels show is that...
...Steven and Ellen are tremendous people. We met in grad[uate] school and worked together while they were academics," Lutcavage said. "Now, I am just glad to know some of my most recent students and graduates have the wonderful opportunity to work in such a special environment and with two absolutely great individuals...
