The British actress, 29, was just 13 years old when she was cast as Sansa Stark on the hit HBO fantasy drama, so naturally she learned a lot of life lessons on set, including, she jokes, “more than enough” about sex. “I loved it. I did love making it. It was the best acting class I’ve ever had, because I never had proper formal training,” Turner said of the 10 years she spent working on Game of Thrones during an interview on the Wednesday, July 9,…
