It goes without saying that with the sprawling cast of great personalities from the HBO series “A Game of Thrones”, someone was going to come up against the directors of the show. There are dozens of talented artists in major roles and even more in the surrounding distribution, and with the difficulties of filming complicated scenes with tons of extras and uncomfortable period costumes, it is honestly shocking that there is no more conflict on the set. However, an actor took exactly Zero Guff from anyone, and not only reinforced with the directors, but stopped filming when she storm the set: the late Dame Diana Rigg, who portrayed the steel and intelligent woman Olenna Tyrell, matriarch of the Tyrell family. Although such behavior is improper and frustrating of most actors, when it is an absolute living legend like Rigg, things are a little different. Some members of the crew, in particular the directors, found it intimidating, while some of his distribution comrades were delighted by his attitude without frills.

In the book “Game of Thrones” behind the scenes “Fire cannot kill a dragon” (graciousness of Weekly entertainment), Cast and Crew remembered the way Rigg would fight with the directors on the way her character should act and a special case when she closed everything by simply walking out-set. When you have played one of the best bond girls of all time and have received a lady for your contributions to your job, you have somehow won the right to be a little fiery.
Dame Diana Rigg gave the Game of Thrones Directors a little sorrow
Although the last season of “Game of Thrones” was in the grip of problems that left a bad taste in the mouth of many fans, the Lady Olenna with an acute language has always been a pleasure until her absolutely incredible death in season 7. (Maybe the lack of Olenna was part of the problem with this last season, honestly.) The scene in his own way, “thank you”, and that made him feel like a “boy of five”. It seems that she was special and could be short with people, but she was not abusive, quite simply in her ideas on how Lady Olenna should behave.

Jessica Henwick, who portrayed Dornish Baddie Nymeria Sand, remembered an era when Rigg decided to start in her own way:
“She entered the set, and she said,” I’m ready now! “A cameraman came and said to himself,” Well, okay, but we haven’t finished setting up. She interrupted her and said, “Roll the cameras! And she just started doing her lines. And she got up just and she said:” I’m done! “Now she can’t walk quickly.

Pillure Rigg Supplication in the help of someone Somme with the same attitude as someone who really associates in a fast Huff is quite fantastic and feels in particular in the character for Lady Olfa. We will miss the great lady Rigg will never miss, but I am grateful that some of her incredible strengths and attitude were captured on the screen thanks to her performance “Game of Thrones”.
