Gwendoline Christie. I didn't have a clue, I started Googling HBO and then I Googled "Tall blonde Lady HBO" then looked at images and there she was. She looks a lot different there than what she looked as the Amazonian Character she played in Game of Thrones.

You win the prize Jack over to you for a pic. She doesn't look happy in that pic, she and her husband had been flooded out and they were squatting for a while in an unused church that had few facilities while things were being sorted at their home and the media played it up saying they were destitute. I think that pic might have been from that and taken without her concent.
TV star flood victim Abigail rejects pity

FORMER star Abigail Rogan admits her life is in dire straits but she is "not a sob story".
With her home damaged by January's floods, Abigail and husband Adrian Wright live in a Sunday school hall in Coonooer Bridge, south of St Arnaud.
The tiny digs, without hot water or power, are a long way from the highs Abigail enjoyed at the top of Australian TV.
Last night she told a TV network her home was recently flooded three times.
"The police found some of my belongings miles away. We have insurance and it's all been taken care of," she said.
"When one is in dire straits in life, one doesn't want to talk about it."
Police parked near Abigail's home yesterday told the Herald Sun the couple were unhappy about TV cameras being shoved in their faces.
Their refuge, attached to the main church building, is near Abigail's modest house, which is being cleared of flood debris.
St Arnaud locals have known of their famous neighbour for years.
Alison Darby said: "I don't think she is very well and he does care for her."
Johnny Weissmuller was an Austro-Hungarian-born American competition swimmer and actor. He was known for playing Edgar Rice Burroughs' ape man Tarzan in films of the 1930s and 1940s and for having one of the best competitive swimming records of the 20th century.Wikipedia
