Clare Kramer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clare Elizabeth Kramer (b. September 3, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an actress best known for her portrayal of the vain and over-the-top Blood-Goddess Glory (aka "Glorificus"), from the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, beginning with Season 5.
Kramer's film roles include: D.E.B.S. (as a villainess, again); The Skulls 3 (as a competitive swimmer who follows in her brother's footsteps by joining the title organization); Roger Avary's adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis novel The Rules of Attraction; and Jessica Bendinger's cheerleading comedy Bring It On. The latter co-starred real-life former cheerleader Kirsten Dunst, and fellow Buffy alum Eliza Dushku. (NOTE: Kramer herself was a former cheerleader, but got dropped from her squad after declining to participate in a fund-raiser.)
Kramer has done considerable theater work and played guest roles on numerous TV shows, including Tru Calling (which starred her old friend Eliza Dushku) and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Kramer was born in Atlanta but spent most of her childhood in Delaware, Ohio, located just north of Columbus. After graduating from high school, she attended New York University and received a BFA from NYU's Tisch School for the Arts. She moved to Los Angeles in December 1999.
Kramer has one sibling: sister Callie, who has been a cheerleader and a competitive swimmer and now works as a lawyer. Clare credits her with being a great assist in researching and preparing for The Skulls 3 and Bring It On.
