'Outlander': Caitriona Balfe's 4th Golden Globe nomination in a row may lead to her first win

Ever since the Irish actress took on the role of a time-traveling healer, we have been charmed by the character of Claire Fraser - a wise, fierce, nurturing and upfront character

Four time's a charm. Starz's 'Outlander' season 4 has come out stronger than ever and Caitriona Balfe has been nominated for the Best Actress - Television Series Drama award for the fourth year in a row. The Irish actress, who started out as a model opening and closing shows for brands like Chanel, Moschino, Givenchy, Dolce and Gabbana, and Louis Vuitton, ventured into acting with a minor role in the 2006 hit film 'The Devil Wears Prada.'

Years down the line, the 39-year-old actress secured the kind of stardom that blinds anyone who follows Balfe's time-traveling show 'Outlander,' primarily because the character she plays, of a mid-20th-century nurse who travels back in time to the war-torn mid-18th-century Scottish Highlands, is anything but emotionally stirring, making Claire Fraser almost synonymous with the actress herself.
