RIP: Diana Rigg

Emma Peel - Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo - Olenna Tyrell
Played some great characters on TV and movies. I became smitten with Emma Peel after watching TV reruns of "The Avengers" in the 80's. Funny, smart, sexy, and tough. Everything an impressionable young boy would love in a woman. The Contessa was the only woman to get James Bond to the wedding altar. And to cap off an award winning career as the cunning matriarch of the Tyrell family in Game Of Thrones. A life well lived. Here's to you Dame Diana:

and with that little pervert Harry Potter:

She was such a sexy and classy actress.
I had a huge crush on her when she was in the Avengers.
It was such a shock to see her in GOT, what age can do to such a gorgeous woman.

She was incredible in the movie "On Her Majesty' Secret Service", a highly underrated Bond film. In the late 1960s she was as hot as any actress around. Also a smoking body in the Emma Peel outfits.

Agreed EB...OHMSS is one of the best Bonds. Yup, the Lazenby one lol. Diana Rigg was a real beauty and her acting in that film was top-notch and very classy as well.

Did any ladies actually wear the hip boots in public or was that only seen in the Avenger series?

 

[EagerBeaver]

At that time very high boots were in vogue. It may have been that she started that fashion trend but I recall my mother wearing very high boots.

Heavy Metal chicks in the 80s sometimes wore those high boots. Lawd have mercy!

Yeah, remember the time we got let out of school early and you invited me back to your house and surprised your mom?
