Before her game-changing role as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke was an easily forgotten name in Hollywood. She had worked on several notable projects, but her presence didn’t leave much of an impact. People doubted her as an acting star, but her role in Game of Thrones, left such a strong impact that she immediately entered the A-list celebrity category. Today, she is one of the most popular actresses, with hit roles in films like Me Before You and Terminator: Genisys.
