Claire Danes is totally incredible as on-the-edge CIA agent Carrie Mathison in acclaimed US drama Homeland.

As she turns 35 today, we thought we’d look back at a few moments when she really earned those Golden Globes…

1. The time her hot colleague had to shoot her to stop her ruining a mission so she was pretty pissed off with him.

2. The time she was trying to blow a huge CIA conspiracy to a journalist when she was inconveniently interrupted and sectioned.

3. The time she threatened an agent with her unrivaled knowledge of Romeo and Juliet.

4. Then there were all these times she flipped shit.
