Lena Headey, who plays the scheming Queen Regent Cersei Lannister on HBO's "Game of Thrones," is reportedly claiming she is broke, with "less than $5" in her bank account.

Headey's financial situation came to light as a result of husband Peter Loughran's making an emergency court filing in their divorce proceedings, according to TMZ.

I don't know how this is possible. A look at her IMDB page shows she has worked basically non-stop in recent years, the actor union must assure her a decent wage. I hope things work out for her.

Its not hard for an actor, even a very successful one, to not save money and end up broke.

This. Many live beyond their means and since she was married, she may have let her husband handle her finances, which she didn't realize was messed up till this divorce

that stuff looks a lot more like smaller roles and guest spots, not much that would amount to giving her a lot of money. Probably the biggest things on her recent resume was Terminator and 300

I just looked up who this (beautiful) woman is and although it astounds me when people can't manage their money, I think she's fabulous, she has two dogs: Wizard and Angela Lansbury.
