Emilia Clarke's Personal Essay About Surviving Brain Aneurysms, Published in The New Yorker
This is a first-person essay by actress Emilia Clarke, published in The New Yorker's Culture section under Personal History. In it, she describes her experience suffering two brain aneurysms and undergoing emergency surgeries during the years she was filming Game of Thrones.
Clarke wrote the piece herself, detailing the first rupture in 2011 shortly after filming the debut season, and a second, more serious aneurysm in 2013. She describes the physical and psychological toll of recovery, the fear of losing her identity and career, and her decision to go public partly to raise awareness for her charity SameYou, which supports brain injury rehabilitation. The essay drew wide attention when it was published in 2019.
