Lyanna Mormont: Last News

Bella Ramsey isn’t going to be pigeonholed. Especially when it comes to gender identity.

K.J. Yossman Bella Ramsey, the star of Lena Dunham’s recent feature “Catherine, Called Birdy,” has signed with CAA, Variety can exclusively confirm. In “Catherine, Called Birdy,” which won rave reviews at Toronto International Film Festival last month, Ramsey plays 14-year-old Birdy, who is coming of age in medieval England where her fate is to be married off to any of the potential suitors her father has in mind – Birdy, meanwhile, has other ideas. Joe Alwyn and Andrew Scott also star in the film, which recently hit Prime Video following a theatrical release. Ramsey also appeared in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” as Lyanna Mormont, the head of the House of Mormont following her mother’s death and the first to declare Jon Snow king of the North during the gathering of the lords at Winterfell.

Millie Bobby Brown has revealed that she considered quitting acting after she was rejected from a Game of Thrones role.

Millie Bobby Brown, 16, is one of the world’s most successful young actresses — but that almost didn’t happen after “Game of Thrones” rejected her.“This industry is just full of rejection,” she said during her recent appearance on “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.” “You get ‘no’s, a lot of ‘no’s, before you get a ‘yes.’ ”Brown was just getting her start in acting when she tried out for the HBO fantasy series. The character she auditioned for was the feisty Lyanna Mormont, who was ultimately played by Bella Ramsey.“I got a no for that,” she said.
