Emilia Clarke was born in London, England, on May 1, 1987. Raised in the countryside of Oxfordshire, her interest in acting began at an early age, when her mother took her to a production of the classic musical Show Boat, on which her father was working as a sound engineer.After completing her studies at the Drama Centre in 2009, Clarke set to work building her career, landing her first television role in the BBC dramatic seriesDoctors and appearing in several commercials. A more significant role came the following year, in the made-for-TV horror/sci-fi movie Triassic Attack(2010). Her big break finally came when she received a call from her agent asking her if she could audition for the new HBO series Game of Thrones. Clarke’s newfound fame quickly led to other projects, including a starring role in the 2012 indie music drama Spike Island. In 2013 she made her first appearance on Broadway, cast as Holly Golightly in a stage production ofTruman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and starred opposite Jude Law in the British comedy Dom Hemingway. After turning down the lead in 50 Shades of Grey—stating that she didn’t want to be pigeonholed in “nudity” roles—Clarke was cast as Sarah Connor opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator Genisys, the 2015 installment of the Terminator saga. Two new films and the sixth season of Game of Thrones are slated for a 2016 release.
