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).

@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....

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.


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