RIP Old Nan

[Werthead]

Very sad news: Margaret John, who was cast as Old Nan in GAME OF THRONES, has passed away at the age of 84. She can be heard in voiceover for one of the trailers for the show. She is best-known for playing Doris in GAVIN & STACEY and has also guested in DOCTOR WHO (both the old and new series).

All of her scenes for Season 1 have been shot already, so she'll still appear in Season 1 of the show. Her character has a small role in the second book so I assume they'll either recast or simply drop the character for the second season.

I'm rewatching Season One. Margaret John was excellent. Great voice. Great delivery. You can see why Bran loves the scary stories.
