Arionis Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Has anyone read Gone with the Wind?The Queen of Thorns reminds me exactly of Grandma Fontaine.That is just how I picture her. Frail of body not in mind. Sharp, sharp, sharp, acid tongue...Survival is paramount above all. And laugh out loud funny in their I don't give a crap what you think, I will do and say as I please.Diana seems too elegant for how I pictured Olenna, but the show is always another facet of the books and it should be fun.Wonderful, legendary actress, but I am not sure she is right for the role.Jesus, you're right!!! You're completely right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booknerd2 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 When I first read when Olenna appears I was waiting for Mrs. Tarleton and Scarlett and Young Miss to appear to get bawled out and told how stupid they're being.I was like forget Queen of Thorns...."Grandma F is that you?" LOL!Or at least give my favorite speech, the bend like buckwheat or you wither and die! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledlevee Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow this is awesome! The best Bond girl ever and one of my favorite actresses of the 60's. As if Game of Thrones couldn't be any cooler. I only wish she had a bigger role to play. Lady Olenna doesn't get enough screen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Stoneheart Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Speaking of Diana though, I hope she has more to do in Season 6. We definitely didn't see enough of her in Season 5.This is definitely one character who I think has been handled better on the show than in the books.

Xie Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah she's been delightful in the show. I wish she'd had more to do this season as well. One of my favorite bits so far which really has nothing to do with anything, but amuses me when I see it: Lady Olenna, upon meeting Brienne: "Aren't you marvelous!"
