Claire Bassett is an actor from the United Kingdom who has been playing supporting roles in movies and television for the past few years. She has also managed to get herself cast as a British character in some movies, including “Truman Capote” and “The Hours”. Her other credits include “No Ordinary Family” for director David Fincher, “The Pirates of The Caribbean” for Pirates of the Caribbean franchise creator Ron Moore, as well as “Goblet of Fire” for director Terry Gilliam. Claire is best known to play a British national known as Punk Queen in the British film “Truman Capote”, though she has also appeared in some American movies such as “Windseeker” and “Gaslight” as well. The truth is that Claire is one of those actors that is best known in her native Britain, as her films do not really showcase her national identity or nationality in any way.

What is the real age difference between Claire and her partner, Alexia Chattan? Their actual ages are not particularly notable, even though Claire is much younger than Alexia by five years, and only a little over a foot in height. This is due in part to their physical positioning when they were models for modeling agencies. Claire was a very tall girl who was extremely good at sports, so it was very common for her to model for modeling agencies in Britain and the United States and then to work in movies after that. While this would have kept her in a position of prominence as a model, which would also likely kept her in the same height as Alexia, it would have made it more difficult for them to ever be anything more than good friends who grew up sharing a room together in a tiny London flat.

So how did this height difference develop? The answer is simple: luck. Claire just happens to have been in the right place at the right time. She met Alexia while she was doing photo shoots for a publishing company and was actually enjoying herself when she realized that this young woman was looking up to her as a role model for success. Claire naturally felt a deep attraction toward this pretty, young woman who seemed to have everything going for her. Claire knew that there was something different about Alexia, and so she pursued the friendship which eventually turned into what has become a long and wonderful marriage between the two of them.
