The LA Times magazine did a profile on Emilia Clarke from HBO's series Game of Thrones. I'm not familiar with the show, but I liked the way the author framed the intro. She discusses Clarke's role in the series with specific emphasis on the actress's portrayal of a woman who possess "inner strength and authority". Instead of focusing on the generalities of her acting career or whatever, the author frames Clarke's story using what makes her and the character she plays unique. She ends with a quote that reinforces the author's main point.

Emilia Clarke has a certain kind of nubile beauty that’s irresistible to casting directors. She’s one of those child-women who’s all bee-stung lips, broad brow and soft, round visage, a facade of über-innocence that’s always hiding anything but. On an actress like Mila Kunis, a baby face is the alluring mask of a bad girl. But in the case of Game of Thrones star Clarke, it’s the portal to a type of young female character you’ve rarely seen, one whose womanly side isn’t largely expressed by her sexuality but by a solid core of inner strength and authority.
...
Indeed, Clarke’s admits to currently “dating her work,” and she’s grateful for the unusual platform it provides. “One of the many things I love about Dany,” she says, “is she’s given me an opportunity to fly the flag for young girls and women, to be more than just somebody’s wife and somebody’s girlfriend.”
