Emilia Clarke on "Games of Thrones"

As Danerys Taergaryn on "Game of Thrones," Emilia Clarke plays a character who can walk through fire. And the actress has found that, in some ways, she can, too. She tells correspondent Tracy Smith that portraying a strong woman on TV helped her to be one in life, when she suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, twice, and nearly died. Having completed ten years' production on the hit HBO series, Clarke has started a charity, SameYou, for brain injury survivors.

"Veep" returns

The HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the one-time Veep and accidental president enters its seventh and final season, and if there is one lesson to take from the hit show, it's that in comedy, as in life, nothing good ever comes easy. Tracy Smith talks with Louis-Dreyfus, Tony Hale, Timothy Simons, Anna Chlumsky, show runner David Mandel and executive producer Frank Rich about going the extra mile for laughs, even in the midst of the star's successful battle with breast cancer.
