misssusanvance replied to your post: Joan Crawford in ‘Paid’ has a certain fierce…

now I’m really curious what actress you’re thinking of!

Think blonde and sad, depressing, awful (alleged) events.

(not Carole Lombard, not Jean Harlow, it’s… worse than that, if possible. She’s basically more famous for The Tragedy than for her acting roles honestly)

Joan Crawford in ‘Paid’ has a certain fierce quality that can be applied to Arya, and Veronica Lake has an ethereal quality that can be applied to Dany. Of course, these are only suggestions :)

(I’m assuming you’re the same anon as before) Joan in Paid could totally work. I was also thinking maybe Sylvia Sidney in some of her roles? (she doesn’t look much like book!Arya and I’m probably thinking about her because she bears a resemblance to Maisie. Still, even if she doesn’t work for Arya I’d still like to use Sylvia for somebody, she just has a great face). I’ve already casted Veronica Lake as Cersei and I’d rather not do repeats. I’m starting to warming up to the idea of another actress for Dany but like…this particular actress I’m thinking of has one of the saddest stories ever and I’m not sure if I want to deal with the implications.

Well, Sansa is also a child, she’s only 13. So I don’t see how aging Arya up as you did Sansa would be a problem :D Again, your old hollywood fancasts are absolutely lovely

Yes, I mentioned that, but I don’t know, somehow it just feels more natural to age up Sansa (or Marg) than Arya? Also Moira Shearer could pass for younger than she was in most of the pics I used (she was 22 in almost all of them I think), so there’s that. But hey, I might just do a grownup!Arya like I intend to do with the more “”doomed”” children. (Thank you again <3)

asoiaf old hollywood fancast: shirley temple as tommen baratheon

Your asoiaf old hollywood fancast is amazing! will you be doing one for Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark, and Jon Snow?

Thank you anon, I’m glad you like it 😀 I haven’t decided on a fancast for those three yet (well, I have an idea for Jon but I’m not 100% sure about it), but I will definitely do them as soon as I can think of something. Arya is the most difficult one among these three because she’s a child (well, Dany and Jon are teens as well but I think it would still work if I aged them up a bit as I did for Sansa and Margaery) and there weren’t many (decent) child actors in old Hollywood. I found one for Shireen but Virginia Weidler is basically one of two or three o.h. child actors I can stomach, so it’s a bit different. Still, if I manage to find a match I will definitely do one for her 🙂 (suggestions are always, always welcome)
