LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Before anyone had heard of Rory Gilmore, Dawson Leery, Felicity Porter or Buffy Summers, America’s most-beloved 15-year old high school sophomore was Angela Chase. Angela, her family and her group of friends were introduced with My So-Called Life, the highly celebrated TV series that launched the careers of Golden Globe®-winner Claire Danes, Jared Leto and Wilson Cruz. Impacting a generation, this triggered a revolution of teen-angst oriented dramas seen on today’s prime-time television.
