A recent report from Bild, a German outlet, suggests that “Murder, She Wrote” star Angela Lansbury is now in talks to board the HBO series’ penultimate season.

While HBO has yet to comment on Lansbury’s supposed role in “Game of Thrones” season 7, should her casting pan out, the “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” actress will join fellow Oscar victor and “Harry Potter” actor Jim Broadbent in the HBO series. She most recently appeared on the stage in Australia in Driving Miss Daisy with James Earl Jones past year.
Lansbury’s last TV role was on Law & Order: SVU, while her last film role was in 2011’s Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Casting rumors and decisions will likely run rife for the coming weeks and months, but both Broadbent and Lansbury’s supposed casting come at a time when Thrones fans are the most hungry for news and discussion – as many more eagerly await author George RR Martin’s progress on the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Dame Angela has won an honorary Oscar, five Tony awards, six Golden Globes, a Bafta and an Olivier Award, and has played pretty much every role in a career spanning seven decades.
Jim Broadbent, perhaps one of the UK’s foremost character actors and regular fixture on the big and small screen, is reportedly joining the series in an unknown capacity.

The Bridget Jones’s Diary star was recently confirmed as a cast-member, although there are no details yet of his “significant” role. The drama is expected to clean up during the 2016 awards system. It did, however, suggest that the iconic actress would be on the “Game of Thrones” set for four days. Which would be your ideal husband?
