At 13, Sophie Turner auditioned for the part of Sansa Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones by reading a scene that ended with Sansa staring at her father’s decapitated head on a pike. While her peers were studying for geometry exams and shopping for prom dresses, Turner was delving into a character who pined after a psychopath, was stripped in front of a court on the orders of said psychopath and, last year, brutally raped–and she did it all while critics lambasted the character on social media.
