I don’t think she got enough notice as “The Queen of Thorns” on “Game of Thrones. She was really great in that role, not just cantankerous, but also quite deadly.

Age 15 I saw her in a stage production of Abelard and Heloise in London. She, Heloise, and whomever played Abelard came on stage naked and embraced on the floor. 1969. My Mom and Dad were so embarrassed. I thought it was weird. Yes, she was someone who could be naked. She must have been 33?

She did a good job as the Duchess of Buccleuch in the series Victoria. I liked that show more than I expected to. And in some ways it was surprisingly historically accurate.

She is also in a three part mini-series that hasn’t yet been released—her last performance.

Mrs. Peel was hot at 30 in 1968. A 14 year old never forgets.

Having been born in the 70s I obviously have no memory of her from the Avengers. She was very good in the role of Olenna Tyrell - the matriarch of House Tyrell in Game of Thrones.

I was going to post a current pic of her in the 21st century, but no, better to remember her from the good days. I loved her in the Avengers.
