Natalie Dormer's unforgettable "Game of Thrones" performance left fans mesmerized even if the show ended recently. Her character in the series had been married to three powerful men, all of whom met a tragic end.

Similar to her ex-husbands, Dormer's character also met a tragic end. However, unlike her character's unfortunate marital life, the British actress seems contented in her personal life with her real-life partner.

Dormer's rise to fame is attributed to her versatile acting skills in various movies and TV shows. Her captivating performances in period dramas have left an indelible mark on the audience's minds.

She first gained popularity as Anne Boleyn in the Showtime series "The Tudors," where she starred with actor Henry Cavill. However, her portrayal of Margaery Tyrell on the critically-acclaimed HBO series "Game of Thrones" truly catapulted her to superstardom.
