Happy Birthday: Gaby Hoffmann

Gaby Hoffmann

Born: January 8, 1982 in New York City, New York, USA

[re childhood days with friend Claire Danes] Growing up in downtown New York City in the ’80s, we were ensconced in art and progressive thinking,Our parents all experimented with raising us in a fairly loose, unorthodox way. A huge emphasis was placed on creativity, and our artistic efforts were never dismissed as childish. There was a sense that we – kids and grown-ups – all had the potential to make something of value. Our drawings were not simply destined for the refrigerator. We never felt patronized.
