the perfect lyanna stark

If R+L=J is true, and I think it is, and if they ever cast Lyanna on the show (or some sort of a spinoff movie/miniseries about Robert's rebellion), they'll have to cast her and Rhaegar with Kit Harington's looks in mind. That would mean darker hair than she's supposed to have in the book, and either she or Rhaegar should have curly hair.

My son and I thought was of someone who resembled a young Susan Lynch could be found she would look quite like a book Stark, but nothing like Maisie. First season Arya looked so much like Catelyn/Michelle and my husband, who has not read the books, thought the casting was really good with finding a solid, young actress who resembled her on-screen mother.

Eva Green circa The Dreamers, made when she was only 22 or so, is my Head Lyanna.



Katie McGrath's features are too...soft for my vision of Lyanna, I dunno. Not sharp enough.



Hard to imagine Kaya Scoledario in anything period (or pseudoperiod like GOT).



I can't think of an actress who resembles an older Maisie Williams, if we're going by that measure, although I thought for a while that Julia Sawalha (Saffy from Absolutely Fabulous) looked a little bit like Maisie Williams. One thing I did notice from those headshot Season 3 character posters is that Maisie Williams and Lena Headey have the same eyes and eyebrows.

I really can't see Keira Knightly as Lyanna. She has dark eyes and isn't at all Starkish in appearance. I just don't see her as Sean Bean's once was little sister or Arya's predecessor look-alike. I like Katie and Jessica Findlay Brown

Ned never told Arya she looked like Lyanna in the show, IIRC. Jon is supposed to look like Ned and Arya in the books, and he doesn't in the show - in the show he looks like Robb a lot.

Since Kit has brown eyes, show version of Lyanna would have to have brown eyes - either that, or show Rhaegar has to have brown eyes. And one of them has to be curly haired.
