If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll know that the series only got better when Lady Olenna Tyrell made her debut. With her sarcasm, wit and savage statements, the elderly matriarch of House Tyrell quickly became a fan favourite, and for good reason.
Unfortunately, we bring some sad news about the actress who brought Lady Olenna to life.
It was confirmed that actress Dame Diana Rigg has passed away at the age of 82.
Famous for her roles in GoT, James Bond and The Avengers series, the late actress’ daughter, actress Rachael Stirling, shared that her mother passed away from cancer after being diagnosed in March.
“My Beloved Ma died peacefully in her sleep early this morning, at home, surrounded by family,” she said. “She died of cancer diagnosed in March, and spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession. I will miss her beyond words.”

Friends, fans and loved ones of the actress have taken to social media to pay tribute to the great actress.
We’ll forever remember the great moments Diana gave us.
Rest in peace Diana.
Our thoughts are with her loved ones during this difficult time.
