Overview

  • She quipped that the show’s graphic sex scenes gave her “more than enough” informal sex education during her teens.
  • Turner called her eight years as Sansa Stark “the best acting class” for learning on-set etiquette, business decisions and craft.
  • Despite starring from ages 14 to 23, the 29-year-old confirmed she has never watched a single episode back.
  • She said forced viewings at premieres trigger a two-month bout of depression, leading her to avoid rewatching her work entirely.
  • Turner first auditioned at 12, began filming at 14 and wrapped season eight at 23, crediting GoT with shaping her early career.
