Game of Thrones and Solo: A Star Wars Story star Emilia Clarke has made TIME’s top 100 most influential people in the world list.

Time Magazine released its annual Time 100 list with the most influential people in the world on Wednesday. Among the 100, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, who is saying goodbye to the series this year. Emma Thompson penned a short essay for the Time 100 about Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke, who she acted alongside on the upcoming movie, Last Christmas. You can read a snippet of the essay below, where Emma Thompson writes about Emila Clarke’s character during a night shoot:

“What was revealed was a woman of mickle might, whose instincts, whetted by years of hard work in environments that were not always safe or healthy, are as finely honed as any I’ve encountered. She has the courage of a small lion, the stamina of a Welsh pit pony and the soul of a clown. A powerhouse to watch and an ally to die for.”
