Happy birthday, Emilia Clarke!
The “Game of Thrones” star, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO medieval-fantasy series, turns 26 today (May 1) — and what a year she’s had.
The naturally brunette Clarke captured the eyes of audiences around the world when she first appeared as the blonde Khaleesi on “GOT,” nabbing the role after fellow British actress Tamzin Merchant dropped out of the pilot for undisclosed reasons.
“She is this incredible, incredible character,” Clarke told “Access Hollywood” of Daenerys. “You get to see her start as this really young, naive sort of girl who really doesn’t know very much about what’s going on in her life and then she just grows into this incredible woman and this warrior princess, really.”
Most recently, Clarke starred as Holly Golightly in the Broadway production of Truman Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which ended in mid-April.
We can’t wait to see what this year brings for her.
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke will topline The Garden of Last Days, James Franco’s latest directorial effort.
This is the first gig for Clarke since signing with CAA in October.
Last Days is being financed by Nu Image/Millennium with Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, Danielle Robinson, Hanna Weg, Vince Jolivette and Miles Levy producing.
Adapted from the 2008 novel by Andre Dubus III (House of Sand and Fog), The Garden of Last Days explores family and sexual values over the course of a night set in a Florida strip club.
In one of three interwoven stories, Clarke will play a stripper who brings her 3-year-old daughter to work.
A July start is being eyed for the low-budget movie.
Clarke plays Daenerys Targaryen, the dragon-commanding princess trying to reclaim her family’s throne, in HBO’s hit fantasy Game of Thrones. She has British crime drama Dom Hemingway, which stars Jude Law, in the can.
Holly Golightly will bid her adieu to Broadway when Richard Greenberg’s new stage adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s closes on Sunday, April 21, after 17 previews and 38 regular performances. The play began previews on March 4 and opened on March 20 at the Cort Theatre.
Directed by Sean Mathias, this new mounting of the famous Truman Capote novella stars Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke in the iconic role of Holly Golightly (made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film), with Cory Michael Smith as Fred and George Wendt as Joe Bell. Rounding out the ensemble are Suzanne Bertish, Danny Binstock, Pedro Carmo, Elisabeth Anthony Gray, Murphy Guyer, Eddie Korbich, Paolo Montalban, Kate Cullen Roberts, John Rothman, Tony Torn, Lee Wilkof and James Yaegashi.
Set in New York City in 1943, Breakfast at Tiffany’s centers on the relationship between Fred (Smith), a young writer from Louisiana and Holly (Clarke), a vivacious good-time girls whose past catches up with her.
The Broadway production features sets by Derek McLane, costumes by Colleen Atwood, lighting by Peter Kaczorowski, projections by Wendall K. Harrington and music and sound by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen.
