Years before she played Obara Sand on Game of Thrones, Keisha Castle-Hughes was best known for playing the lead in the 2002 film Whale Rider, even earning herself a Best Actress Oscar nomination and, at the time, being the youngest Best Actress nominee in Academy history at just 13 years of age.

Though the actress acted only sporadically in the years that followed, she managed to snag herself a cameo role in Revenge of the Sith, playing Queen Apailana of Naboo.

Apailana is Padme's successor and briefly seen attending her funeral at the end of the movie. Castle-Hughes recorded her part in a single day, seven hours of which was spent in the makeup chair. Oof.
