WightMeWorry Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It seems to me we should be able to come up with a Lysa pretty easily, since we now know what her elder sister looks like. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Maybe they could age up one of Meryl Streep's daughters or something :PETA: Ooo, I just discovered her eldest daughter Mamie was in John Adams. Not that it's a serious suggestion, but I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's a serious suggestion, but I didn't know that.I like her, she could totally pass as Jennifer Ehle's younger sister. She may be too young though...Wonder if she has her mothers talent for accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchb3rry Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Robin Weigert is more suited to play Brienne.I think Rene Zellweger would be a good Lysa Arryn. Maybe with that Nurse Betty type of acting where it's all over the map, playing sweet one second and obviously batshit crazy the next. It's a small stint, so they could have success courting her for the role. Especially if the show eclipses the Sopranos and gets the same result of big name actors practically begging to be in it, even for minor roles.

Knight of the Teabags Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 You need quite a strong actress to pull off Lysa - I mean you need someone who can do 'mad' convincingly without it being silly. One name that was suggested a while ago which I thought 'she could probably pull it off...' was Julia Sawalha.http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...sa%3DN%26um%3D1Now that was before Jennifer Ehle was cast at Catelyn. Julia Sawalha is actually a couple of years older than Jennifer Ehle. While Jennifer Ehle was playing Lizzie Bennet in the BBC 'Pride & Prejudice' however, Julia Sawalha was playing Lydia Bennet in the same production.

thewall Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm not sure if she's been suggested yet but I remember seeing Natasha Little in Spooks a few years ago, and in other roles since, and I thought she'd be a good candidate for Lysa. She's got a good look and I think she can do annoying-psycho-woman quite convincingly. She and Ehle are of the same age, but Little can easily pass as the younger sis with the right makeup, etc., imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongrel Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 In the books, Lysa is described as older-looking than Catelyn, so don't feel too restricted by age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacuna Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Samantha Spiro? Only having seen her act once, I don't know how good she actually is, but this picture screams Lysa to me. She is one year older than Jennifer Ehle, which is, IMO, close enough, since Lysa is supposed to look a bit shabby. (Wiki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinski Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Isabelle Adjani would be perfect as Lysa My link . She isn't only one of the best actresses in the world according to me, but she is particular good at playing crazy people, (if you watch this video you will see what I mean: My link) Under the last few year she has started go gain weight so she also has the physical attributes that goes with the part: My link . She maybe some years older than the the character should be but as almost every character is aged up why not Lysa? And as some people have pointed out, she is supposed to look older than she is. The only problem with her is that I don't know if her English is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
