Early life
St Edward's School Oxford, which Clarke attended

Clarke was born on 23 October 1986 in London.[1][2] She grew up in Oxfordshire.[3] Her father, Peter Clarke, was a theatre sound engineer from Wolverhampton,[4][5] while her mother, Jennifer, is the vice-president for marketing at a global management consultancy firm as of 2020.[1][6] Clarke's older brother, Bennett, works in the entertainment industry and was part of the camera department on Game of Thrones.[7][8]

Clarke said she became interested in acting at the age of three after seeing the musical Show Boat.[9] When she was ten, her father took her to a West End audition for the musical The Goodbye Girl, a musical by Neil Simon.[1] Clarke attended Rye St Antony School in Headington and St Edward's School, Oxford, which she left in 2005.[10] In a 2016 interview with Time Out magazine, she stated “I went to posh boarding schools, but I wasn’t the posh girl at the posh boarding schools.”[11] She also stated that most of the people at her boarding school in Oxford were from conservative backgrounds, which meant she and some of her friends often felt like outsiders.[12] After graduation, Clarke unsuccessfully applied to RADA, LAMDA, and Guildhall. She worked and travelled before entering the Drama Centre London, from which she graduated in 2009.[13][14]

Clarke stated in a 2018 interview that her maternal grandmother was the child of a secret affair between Clarke's great-grandmother and a man from the Indian subcontinent. Her grandmother wore light makeup to hide the darker complexion she had inherited from her father. Clarke credits this background for her family's having a "history of fighters", saying: "The fact that [my grandmother] had to hide her skin colour, essentially, and try desperately to fit in with everyone else must've been incredibly difficult."[15] In a Harper's Bazaar interview, Clarke stated that her grandmother loved India more than she loved England and so, when she died, Clarke, at the age of 16, travelled to India to scatter her ashes.[16]

Career

Early career (2000–2010)

Clarke started to act in stage productions while attending school. She appeared in student productions of Twelfth Night and West Side Story while attending St Edward's School.[17] After taking a sabbatical year, she was accepted into Drama Centre London.[1] Clarke also appeared the 2009 production of Sense, co-produced by theatre company Company of Angels and Drama Centre London.[18]

One of her first film roles was in Drop the Dog, a University of London student short film.[19] She graduated from drama school in 2009.[20] She worked at various non-acting jobs after graduating while auditioning for roles.[21] She starred in two commercials for the charity Samaritans, portraying a domestic abuse victim.[22] Her first credited television role was a bit part in a 2009 episode of the British soap opera Doctors.[23] Clarke was cast in her first professional film role, playing Savannah in the 2010 television film Triassic Attack.[24] The film was released in November 2010 on the Syfy channel in the United States where it received negative reviews.[25] Despite the film's reviews, she was named a "UK Star of Tomorrow" by the film magazine Screen International.[26]

In 2010, Clarke was cast in her third professional role as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.[13] Daenerys is one of the last surviving members of House Targaryen who had ruled Westeros from the Iron Throne for nearly three hundred years prior to being ousted.[27] Actress Tamzin Merchant was originally cast for the part of Daenerys.[28] When the pilot episode was re-shot in early 2010, Merchant was replaced by Clarke.[29][30] The show ran from April 2011 until May 2019, with Clarke portraying Daenerys throughout all eight seasons.[31]

Clarke received widespread praise for her portrayal of Daenerys, which traces an arc from frightened girl to empowered woman.[32] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe called her scenes "mesmerising", adding that "Clarke doesn't have a lot of emotional variety to work with as Daenerys, aside from fierce determination, and yet she is riveting."[33] Emily VanDerWerff for The A.V. Club commented on the difficulty of adapting such an evolution from page to screen, but concluded that Clarke "more than seal[s] the deal here."[34]

In 2017, she reportedly became one of the highest paid actors on television, reportedly earning £2 million per episode of Game of Thrones.[lower-alpha 1] In 2019, she said she had been uncomfortable acting nude in her first experience at age 23 of a large film set, but had since become "a lot more savvy" about what level of nudity is needed for a scene.[37] Clarke received multiple award nominations and wins for her role of Daenerys. After the first season, Clarke won Best Supporting Actress in a Drama at the 2011 EWwy Awards.[38] She was also nominated three times for Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2013, 2015, and 2016.[39] At the 2019 Emmys, she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, her first nomination in the category.[40]

In addition to the television show, she lent her voice and likeness to the 2014 video game of the same name.[41] She also made a cameo appearance during Kit Harington's monologue on Saturday Night Live in April 2019.[42] She said in a November 2019 NPR interview that if she "were to get stereotyped as the mother of dragons, I could ask for worse. It's really quite wonderful."[43]

Film career (2012–present)

Clarke's first film role was in the short film Shackled (2012).[44] The film was featured in the 2020 Prime Video horror anthology series Murder Manual.[45] The same year, she starred alongside Elliott Tittensor in the comedy film Spike Island.

In 2013, she was cast as Sarah Connor in the science fiction action film Terminator Genisys (2015).

The film, based on a thriller novel by Joe Sharkey and directed by Phillip Noyce, was announced at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.[69] Despite having a turbulent release which left it vulnerable to piracy, [70] the film received generally favourable reviews with Clarke’s performance being highly praised by critics.[71][72][73] In late 2019, Clarke starred in the romantic comedy film Last Christmas. It was a box office success, grossing $121 million worldwide.[74][75] The film, also starring Henry Golding, was written by Emma Thompson and directed by Paul Feig.[76] In a January 2020 interview with Bustle magazine, Clarke stated she was inspired by Will Ferrell's character in the 2003 comedy film Elf.[77] Although the film received negative reviews, critics praised Clarke's performance.[78][79]

Clarke also pledged to join nurses and healthcare workers to tackle the issues affecting the profession, including a falling number in training and shortages in the current workforce.[95]

Clarke was also one of the many UK based actresses to lend her voice to the Time's Up movement which was aimed at exposing sexual harassment and abuse, and creating a society free of gender-based discrimination in the work place.[96] In August 2018, Clarke, as well as Gemma Arterton, Lena Headey, Tom Hiddleston, Felicity Jones, Wunmi Mosaku, Florence Pugh, Gemma Chan, and Catherine Tate, featured in the short film titled Leading Lady Parts which took aim at the film industry's issue of gender inequality during the casting process.[97]
