Tane McClure

Tané M. McClure (born June 8, 1958), sometimes credited as Tahnee Cain and Tané Cain, is an American actress, singer, producer, writer, director and film editor. McClure was born in Los Angeles County, California. She is the daughter of actor Doug McClure and Faye Brash, the first of his five wives. She has a half-sister, Valerie, from her father's marriage to his fourth wife, Diane Soldani, in the 1970s as well as a half-sister, Taber Parker Reiner from her mother's third husband Donald Parker.McClure made a cameo appearance on her father's Western television series The Virginian at age five.

Raised in Hawaii, McClure moved to Northern California and, at age 17, began singing in a Latin jazz band called Sweet Honesty.

She recorded her first single, "Redwood City", in the late 1970s, and soon thereafter met The Babys and Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, whom she married.Moving with him to Los Angeles, she landed a record deal in 1982 and released a self-titled (using her married name Tané Cain) album on RCA Records. A Billboard review of the album described her as "an artist to watch" and remarked that she "looks incredibly beautiful on the LP cover. Then you put it on and find out that she can sing just as well."Allmusic's Alex Henderson wrote that "the material – most of it sleek, commercial pop/rock that was co-produced and co-written by Jonathan Cain and has a Pat Benatar-ish quality – is generally excellent."McClure disliked comparisons to Benatar, preferring to identify herself with her idol Grace Slick. The album's first single, "Danger Zone", failed to chart, but the follow-up, "Holdin' On", peaked at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album did not sell as well as the label had hoped (peaking at number 121 on the Billboard album chart), and she was dropped, never to release another album. She did, however, contribute three songs to soundtrack for The Terminator in 1984. She also recorded demos for a second album in 1985, which were eventually leaked several years later to multiple AOR blogspots. She later composed and performed her new song "Kicks" which then appeared and could be heard in a bar scene on a jukebox in Fred Olen Ray's

Armed Response movie soundtrack.

She also played the mother of Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) in Legally Blonde (2001) and its sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003). She is currently a successful film producer and director with over 40 film festival awards and nominations.

McClure married Gary Arendts on July 17, 2001 and has a daughter Kayla Arendts, born c. 1998.
