An actress from hit TV show Game Of Thrones has told a court is broke, and has less than $5 in her bank account.
Lena Headey, 39, disclosed her financial situation as part of her divorce proceedings with her estranged husband Peter Loughran.
Documents revealed the actress has claimed to have 'less than $5 in her bank account', with Lena adding that she survives on credit cards to pay for and her two-year-old son's living expenses.
No more finery: The actress who plays Queen Cersei Lannister in the HBO drama made the statement in court documents as part of her divorce proceedings
The actress - who plays Queen Cersei in the HBO drama - made the plea of poverty through court documents filed at L.A. County Superior Court.
The couple married in 2007 but split four years later, with Lena filing for divorce in July 2012 citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
Together they have a two year old son named Wylie, who primarily lives with his mother.

Broke: Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey claims she has just £5 left in her bank account
Over: Lena and her ex Peter Loughran are arguing over a $46,000 tax refund
Headey said she desperately needs to obtain $6000 from the refund – known as community property - to pull herself from the brink of financial collapse.
Her money woes come as a shock, considering the actress stars in one of the biggest HBO TV series of the last few years.
Her onscreen re-emergence led to a leading role in 2012’s Dredd, and this year she will appear in two big blockbusters, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and 300: Rise of an Empire.
In the court documents Headey filed through lawyers she said that expects to earn income from acting in the near future, however no detail is given.
The 300 star states that she is willing to allow Loughran $6000 from the community property to cover his living costs but asks for the rest of the money to be transferred into a bank account where both their signatures are needed to release any funds
However, TMZ claim that a judge denied the Northern Irish musician’s appeal for half the money as well as Headley's application for a cash advance.
Don't they pay well? Game Of Thrones is one of the biggest TV hits of the last few years so it begs the question, where has all Lena's money gone?
