Emilia Clarke's Biography
Emilia Clarke is a British theater and cinema actress, who gained worldwide popularity after the TV series "Game of Thrones" premiered, where she starred as Daenerys Targaryen, mother of dragons.
Childhood and Youth
Emilia Clarke was born in bustling London. However, she spent her childhood in the quiet countryside of Berkshire, far from the British capital.



Theatrical Debut
As a student, Emilia Clarke gained attention for her remarkable stage performances at Drama Centre London. In 2007, the actress won the role of Anna Petrovna in Anton Chekhov's drama "Wild Honey" adaptation (this drama is widely recognized under the name "Fatherlessness" in CIS countries). Critics and instructors praised her acting debut, and Emilia Clarke soon became a regular performer with the theater company.

The Beginning of Movie Career
In 2009, TV-viewers could see Emilia Clarke on the screen for the first time. The young actress' first film work was a small role of Saskia Mayer in a soap opera "Doctors". While her TV debut wasn't exactly a failure, the role didn't catapult her to stardom.

Daenerys Targaryen
In 2010, 24-year-old Emilia Clarke was sharing a small apartment with friends and juggling six side jobs to make rent. But she never lost hope that an exciting opportunity would come her way.
Emilia had no idea who she'd be playing under those discerning directors' eyes. The first thing she did was hit Wikipedia and read up on the character. She quickly realized this was one of the most compelling characters in the story – she absolutely had to take the role.








Emilia Clarke's Private Life
Since September 2012, the actress dated famous Hollywood film director and animator Seth MacFarlane. Their relationship developed rapidly, but in March 2013, the couple announced their breakup. As some journalists noted, the reason was supposedly Emilia Clarke's love affair with actor Kit Harington, famous for his role of Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones".


In 2020 she was spotted in London restaurant Bob Bob Ricard with Matt Smith ("Dr Who"), but neither Emilia nor Matt commented their date.
