About Tané McClure

Born 1958. Tané McClure is an American singer, film producer, film actor, television actor, film director and actor.

Tané M. McClure (born June 8, 1958), sometimes credited as Tahnee Cain and Tané Cain, is an American actress, singer, model, producer, writer, director, and film editor.

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

Career McClure recorded her first single, "Redwood City", in the late 1970s, and soon thereafter met the Babys and Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, whom she married. 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 did not sell as well as the label had hoped, peaking at number 121 on the Billboard album chart,

McClure played the mother of Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) in Legally Blonde (2001) and its sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003).

Personal life In 1980, McClure married musician, singer and songwriter Jonathan Cain, who is best known as the keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the rock band / supergroup Journey. They divorced in 1984. McClure married Gary Arendts on July 17, 2001, and has a daughter Kayla Arendts, born c. 1998.
