Sophie Turner was born Sophie Belinda Turner on February 21, 1996, in Northampton, England. She grew up in Chesterton, Warwickshire, with mother Sally (a former nursery school teacher), father Andrew (a pallet distribution company employee), and older brothers James and Will. Sophie was a twin, but sadly her twin died before birth. Turner said of the tragedy, “My mum had a miscarriage – my twin died and I lived. That definitely affected me in terms of I always felt as though… something was missing. I have two older brothers who are close in age and I always felt as though I needed someone or should have had someone there. I guess there’s a sense of loss there that I have used to conjure emotions onscreen.” Sophie attended Warwick Prep School and The King’s High School for Girls, and after joining the cast of “Game of Thrones,” she had a tutor on the set until she was 16. Turner became a member of the Playbox Theatre Company at just 3 years old.
In 2009, Turner landed the role of Sansa Stark on “Game of Thrones,” and the series premiered in April 2011. “Game of Thrones” went on to become one of the most popular shows on television, with the audience growing from 2.2 million during the premiere to 19.3 million during the series finale. In 2016, both “Rolling Stone” and “TheWrap” ranked Sansa #4 on their lists of the best “Game of Thrones” characters. Sophie and her family adopted the dog that played her character’s dire wolf after season one of “Game of Thrones.” Turner made her big screen debut in 2013’s “Another Me,” and that year she also appeared in the TV movie “The Thirteenth Tale.” She narrated the 2014 Cassandra Clare audiobook “City of Heavenly Fire,” then starred in 2015’s “Barely Lethal” and 2016’s “X-Men: Apocalypse,” which grossed $543.9 million at the box office. Sophie reprised the role of Jean Grey in 2019’s “Dark Phoenix,” which brought in $252.4 million.
