Diana Rigg Has Died at 82 yrs

Pearlee — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 14:12:18 GMT

I remember her from The Avengers in the 1960s but younger people may know her from Game of Thrones. She was also in a James Bond film.

I also remember her, along with Patrick MacNee, from the original Avengers series. I loved that show.

I see so many of the people I knew from "back when" have passed and can't believe they had gotten that old. Guess that makes me old, too!🤗

FYI.......some don't know who Diana Rigg is. A photo is helpful.

Mrs. Peel was one of my first crushes. I'm sad to hear of her passing.

I knew her as Emma Peel, but she had a very distinguished resume in theater, film and television beyond the early in her career Avengers show. Sorry to hear of her passing.

No...really?! Loved her in all her roles. She was elegant, well spoken and an amazing actress. She will be missed.

Oh that is sad! I loved her talent. Her daughter Rachel Sterling is one of my favorite actresses. Diana Rigg had such an amazing life. Although born in England, she got sent away at 2 months old to live in India. Stayed there till she was 8 and spoke Hindi as a second language. When she got back to England, it was the first time she ever saw it since she was a tiny baby.

I enjoyed watching Diana Rigg for years, as Mrs Peel and then as James Bond's one-and-only wife. More recently I saw her in person as Mrs Higgins in "My Fair Lady" at Lincoln Center. She was terrific, as usual

I'm sorry, @Pearlee , I searched but somehow overlooked that you had already started a thread on her! Have asked mods to delete mine.

I love her versatility, and that slightly cheeky elegance she had. Wonderful actress!

marchingalong123. Yes photos are helpful. Unfortunately I, the thread starter, can't post them from the device I type on.

@Oznell No worries. It's always a toss-up whether to post about actors here or on the other forum where you posted. (I'm surprised though that a search didn't produce this thread).

Her daughter, Rachel Stirling, said Rigg died of cancer that was diagnosed in March ( the type of cancer wasn't named in the Foxnews article I just read).

Now I remember Diana Rigg in Rebecca. She was fabulous!

RIP.

@Pearlee Loved watching the Avengers. I believe it was ahead of its time as far as crime fighting was concerned and a very sophisticated couple. Sad to hear Mrs Peel is deceased.

Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel was the epitome of cool to my crowd when The Avengers was a hit TV show.! The smooth hair style, the "Mod" outfits, the sophistication! We all tried to be like her......

Wonderful career. Loved her as the most formidable mother-in-law ever in Game of Thrones....

@OH did I want to be Mrs. Peel! Not surprising huh?
