Sofia Vergara & Claire Danes Cover 'Vanity Fair' TV Issue

Julianna Margulies, Claire Danes, Sofia Vergara, and Michelle Dockery grace the cover of Vanity Fair‘s TV issue.

The actresses from The Good Wife, Homeland, Modern Family, and Downton Abbey, respectively, posed for photographer Norman Jean Roy, while the mag’s culture critic, James Wolcott, explored “the evolutionary advantage behind television’s takeover of popular culture.”

“TV is where the action is, the addictions forged, the dream machine operating on all cylinders. [Where] movies divide and stratify; television, like sports, is the democratic includer,” he notes.

Also featured in the issue: cast members from The Big Bang Theory, Revenge, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Shameless.
