EMMA D'ARCY as RHAENYRA TARGARYEN — 1.10 | "The Black Queen"

rewatching lost and making it everyones problem — kate in 1x12

should we tell you how much she loved you?

Who is your cinematic crush? "When I got to this shoot, they asked me if I would be interested in doing a Marilyn Monroe kind of inspiration. I grew up with tons of books on Old Hollywood, and Marilyn in particular. I was obsessed with her. I really tried hard not to cry when they suggested I be like Marilyn. "Do you have a favorite reality show? The Repair Shop, on the BBC. It’s set in a beautiful barn somewhere in England, and they have specialists come in to fix things. People bring objects that are broken but mean something to them: a prewar set of boots or an old chair. I find it heavenly. And then, late at night, I watch murder TV and Dateline. My partner says, “How can you sleep after that?” I’m like, “Because bad guy identified, bad guy caught, and then all the world is all right. I learned from watching murder docs and Dateline that as actors, when we're playing people who are lying, we're encouraged to do it very, very well. But when you watch those shows, you realize most people are horrible liars."

A grappling hook? I designed it myself.
