She's not immediately recognizable without the wig, and her personality is completely the opposite of Cersei's. She says that more than once, she's been happily talking to someone, only to have them visibly recoil when they recognize who she is. You'd think that people get that actors are just acting but maybe really good villains just touch something deeply primal and irrational in us.
