Early life and career

Born in Mineola, New York and raised, respectively, in Houston, Texas, Woking, England, New York City, [1] and, finally, the state of Connecticut, [3] Clarke–whose professional nickname is simply derived from the initials of her given names [1] –had never acted prior to appearing in the 2003 television film My House in Umbria , [3] a performance which earned her the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Movie – Supporting Young Actress in 2004. [4] Recalling her performance, director Richard Loncraine was particularly struck by Clarke's "stillness," specifically "her ability to look at the camera and not move and to just hold a look." He added, "It's unusual in many actors, let alone children of her age." No less impressed was the film's star, Dame Maggie Smith, who said simply, "It was stunning. Absolutely stunning." [3]

Clarke had a recurring role on the TV series Monk —beginning with the season three episode "Mr. Monk and the Red Herring"—as Julie Teeger, the daughter of Adrian Monk's second assistant Natalie. [5] Reviewing the program's 2005 Christmas episode, the Knoxville News Sentinel notes with approval the show's evolution, such that supporting players Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford and Clarke "have been given breathing room to fill out, bringing much-needed dimension and quirkiness to Monk's world." [6] Clarke continued as a semi-regular cast member throughout the remainder of the show's run, [7] appearing in a total of 24 episodes. [1]

In 2006, 2010 and 2014, respectively, Clarke appeared in Fur , a substantially fictionalized biography of photographer Diane Arbus (in which Clarke portrays Arbus's eldest daughter), [8] The Line (aka ATF), a never-picked-up–and, it appears, never aired pilot episode for a planned ATF procedural starring Dylan Walsh, [9] and, finally, Apartment Troubles , a poorly received independent dramady about a young lesbian couple, both of whom also happen to be aspiring performance artists, [10] in which Clarke appears briefly as one of a pair of rival talent show auditioners.
