‘Game of Thrones’ Stars, Edgar Wright and More Celebs Pay Tribute to Diana Rigg: ‘The True Queen of Westeros’

“Great actress and good sport – lest we forget, she let Daniel Radcliffe flick a condom on her head in Extras,” Stephen Merchant writes

Diana Rigg passed away Thursday after a months-long battle with cancer at the age of 82 and immediately tributes to the iconic British actress began pouring from her former “Game of Thrones” co-stars, director Edgar Wright, former 007 George Lazenby, and many more celebrities.

“Dame Diana Rigg . She always raised the bar with her incredible talent, intelligence and wit,” tweeted Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister on “Game of Thrones,” and had the pleasure of acting opposite Rigg as Lady Olenna Tyrell in her final scene on the series. “An absolute joy and honor to work with. May her soul Rest In Peace.”
