Emilia Clarke

In 2013, amidst her rising fame as a key figure in “Game of Thrones,” Emilia Clarke ventured onto Broadway as Holly Golightly in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” However, her performance was met with mixed reviews from critics. The New York Times characterized her as an “under-age debutante” attempting to embody a sophisticated adult, while Variety opined that she wouldn’t make audiences forget Audrey Hepburn’s iconic portrayal.

Emilia candidly referred to this theatrical experience as a “catastrophic failure.” She acknowledged her unreadiness for the challenging role. She realized she was too young and lacked the necessary experience to tackle such a demanding part. Looking back, she recognized her growth and maturation since that time.
