Game of Thronesstars honor Diana Rigg: 'The true queen of Westeros'

But she’s probably best known to modern viewers for her portrayal of Olenna Tyrell onGame of Thrones.

The realm will always remember Diana Rigg."

She always raised the bar with her incredible talent, intelligence and wit.

An absolute joy and honor to work with.

May her soul Rest In Peace."

John Bradley (Samwell Tarley)wrote: “Diana Rigg was just wonderful.

But you all knew that already.

Very sad news.”

Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) wrote: “Rest in peace.

A remarkable wonderful and enormously talented human being.”

Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell)wrote: “The true queen of Westeros.”

Flinty, fearless, fabulous.

There will never be another.

An honour to work with her.

I think#AllCreaturesGreatAndSmallwas her final screen job; she made a fabulous Mrs Pumphrey.

Doesnt really make sense to think of her having died.

She generally lived the hell out of everyone."

Edgar Wright (director): “What to say about Diana Rigg?

She exceeded all my highest expectations, so blazingly talented, fiery & funny.

I will miss her beyond words.

When Emma Peel played Euripides Medea, Albees Martha and Brechts Mother Courage she swept all before her.

Her dazzling wit and that inimitable voice made her an unforgettable leading figure in British theatre.

She went to work with her sleeves rolled up and a smile for everyone.

Her talent was luminous.”
