Emilia Clarke Played Evelyn Hemingway in Dom Hemingway

In April 2013, Emilia Clarke played the role of Evelyn Hemingway in the dark comedy-crime film Dom Hemingway. The film, directed by Richard Shepard, stars Jude Law as the titular character, an ex-convict seeking to reclaim his place in the criminal underworld after being released from prison.
