Actress Emilia Clarke said she suffered two "life-threatening" aneurysms. The actor, who plays Daenerys Targaryen in the popular series "Game Of Thrones", underwent surgery twice, leading to "terrible anxiety" and panic attacks, reports bbc.com.

Despite thinking she would die, Clarke has now recovered beyond her "most unreasonable hopes". The actress, who is from Oxford, plays a young princess sold into marriage who she describes as "a figure of power and self-possession".
