In the film New Year's Eve, which actress plays the character Claire Morgan?

Hilary Swank plays Claire Morgan in the 2011 ensemble film New Year’s Eve.

Directed by Garry Marshall, New Year’s Eve follows several interconnected stories unfolding in New York City as December 31 ends. Swank’s Claire Morgan is a vice president of the Times Square Alliance who is responsible for the city’s famous ball-drop celebration. Her storyline focuses on the pressure of organizing the event and resolving personal tensions.

The film has a large cast, which makes role-and-actor mix-ups common. Sarah Jessica Parker plays Kim, Ashton Kutcher plays Randy, and Katherine Heigl plays Laura. These characters belong to separate storylines within the same film.

New Year’s Eve was released in 2011 and functions as a companion in spirit to Marshall’s earlier ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day. It is a fictional movie, not a documentary about the real Times Square celebration.
