That sort of taboo or outrage at show-Claudia's age of 14 would stretch credulity as much as the obviously older Bass playing her. Turning children that young was forbidden, because the vampires are weaker, hungrier and more reckless. Dunst's age and skill at playing younger allowed the inclusion of a storyline that fleshed out the vampiric world. Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 taught everyone a harsh lesson about full-CGI vampire babies. Unless looking to get into She-Hulk: Attorney at Law level VFX, there is no way a five-year-old child could play the role. The series changed quite a bit from the books, but this may be the best change yet. She captures the innocence and casual violence portrayed in the novel, but her older age allows for greater storytelling potential in the series. She is played by Bailey Bass, who is a "whopping" 19 years old. The AMC series, which likely wants to tell stories over many real-world years, further aged up the character to 14.
The 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt cast an 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst to play a 10-year-old version of Claudia.
While that theme persists, the adaptations aged up the child. Claudia is forever five, unable to grow or change. Her daughter, the same age as the character, died in 1972 of leukemia. The inspiration for this character was Rice's own personal loss. In the novel, a starving Louis feeds on a five-year-old girl and she becomes an immortal child.
The real question is if it helps or harms the story? The AMC series has taken some liberties with the source material, but the realities of making a TV show demanded it.
The latest adaptation of Anne Rice's iconic novel Interview With a Vampire just reached the Claudia portion of the story. The following contains spoilers for Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire Season 1, Episode 4, ".The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child's Demanding," which debuted Sunday, Oct.
