Lena Headey on "Game of Thrones" and the IRC

"Game of Thrones” is about to return for its eighth and final season, and anticipation is high. Lena Headey plays Queen Cersei Lannister, one of the few original characters to have survived the show’s many violent episodes. Headey also is a prominent campaigner for the International Rescue Committee; she recently visited refugee camps in Greece and is calling for better mental health care there.
