Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke is not just a queen. She is a Khaleesi! This 34-year-old British actress came into entertainment prominence after portraying Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s smash fantasy hit Game of Thrones. Before her big break, Emilia worked a wide range of jobs, including waitressing, working in a call center, and selling real estate properties.

However, Game of Thrones isn’t the only high-profile franchise that includes Emilia’s name as the main actress. Emilia landed another big gig in 2016 after signing on to star as the female lead for the much anticipated Star Wars Han Solo franchise. That’s not all! Emilia is also a devoted advocate for brain aneurysm research after having suffered from one back in 2011. With the help of her financial advisor/s, the actress has been donating a sizable amount to efforts associated with brain aneurysm awareness. Now isn’t that a true mark of a queen?
