CestWhat Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It seem for the suggestions so far that folks are casting her based on the novels, yet TV Lyanna Stark would be a bit different especially if she isn't just Jon Snow's auntie. Granted she totally could end up not being Jon Snow's bio mom since folks have been making the case for and against that theory for quite some time (personally think it's an awesome one), but I guess who out there looks a lot like Kit Harington as to keep us guessing up until the end.

No actress alive would live up to it.I don't agree on TV-only folks not know about the mystery of Jon Snow's mother or that popular theory that it's Lyanna Stark. It's on the Internet everywhere. It wouldn't be totally out to lunch on the TV. I do think TV-only fans wouldn't care that much about the description of House Stark members looking like wolves with long faces and noses. The statue of Lyanna Stark doesn't show her either really. She kind of looks like Kit Harington. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110320132407/gameofthrones/images/thumb/3/38/Lyanna%27s_statue.jpg/640px-Lyanna%27s_statue.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Lyanna doesnt need to be the hottest woman alive, I rather doubt that's why Rhaegar fell for her, he had beautiful women all around him his entire life as anyone in his position would, he likely fell for her because she was so different from all the other women he'd known, her free spirit probabaly brought out a part of him he never knew existed.

NedStark2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 How about Hayley Atwell. She worked well in that Pillars Of The Earth . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya of Winterfell Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hayley Atwell is very beautiful and a good actress. She could pass off as Lyanna, however, I think her facial features are too delicate. Lyanna is a wolf and I'd expect her to have a fiercer look.I also love Sarah Bolger, but I don't think she looks like a Stark. The current Stark's in the series get away with not looking totally Northern due to being half Tully, but Lyanna's parents are both of the North.IMO, the best and somewhat realistic contenders are:Jessica Brown Findlay aged 23, an English Actress.Lucy Griffiths aged 26, an English Actress.Katie Mcgrath aged 29, an Irish Actress.

SerArthurHeath Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Kate Bracken, please! - technically a Being Human British version spoiler here, would have shown better clips but they would entail massive spoilershttp://www.equity.org.uk/public/images/1kate-bracken-2527b.jpghttp://db2.stb.s-msn.com/i/D7/BD3686B475AC9C0205532546CBAA.jpghttp://unitedagents.co.uk/sites/default/files/Kate%20Bracken%202.jpgaged 22, Scottish actress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerArthurHeath Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Remember that Lyanna is meant to be the spitting image of Arya and Kate Bracken could be Maisie's sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Hard-Ruler Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Bracken looks great for the part. I'd say her and Kaya Scodelario are the best candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woftis Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Actually, a young Joan Baez.Who can argue that?I stand by this post: Lyanna to a tee.Practically though, I accept it's just not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia of the knife Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Graphic Novel "Lyanna Stark,"http://www.bing.com/...electedIndex=16The only place the Artist messed up was making her eyes grey, but perhaps thats no more easy than creating "purple" eyes.

gande51 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Liv Tyler was my Ashara Dayne , so my Lyanna was and always has been Eva Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys Sand Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Katie Mcgrath.... Really? Her acting relies on smirking at everyone, and Mcgrath is a classic beauty. Lyanna isn't your typical pretty girl, I picture Ellen Page as Lyanna when I read the books, but obviously she's too big of an actress and is American.

Have you seen Steinfeld's acting? If they put her anywhere near the show I'll send a Dothraki tribe on D&D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy and Girl Wadish Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If only Eva Green is not that old. *sigh* If Lyanna did not die and was in hiding and then all of a sudden resurfaced with Howland Reed then go for it and get that role, Eva!For a more realistic option, I'd go for Sarah Bolger. She does look like Maisie Williams and would go well with the whole "Arya looks like Lyanna" thing. I also miss her accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Someone posted Erin Cummings for a Martell, but I think she would make a great Lyanna:http://www.serienjunkies.de/news/big/s/spartacus-suradarstellerin-erin-cummings-33986_big.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Boston Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Sarah Bolger really does look like Maisie. But, also, another interesting parallel is the fact that Sarah Bolger also looks like Natalie Dormer to me, heh. This is pretty appropriate considering Renly and Loras were trying to play up some similarity in appearance between Marge and Lyanna -- even if Ned was quick to squash it.
