May Mrs. Peel live forever.

A fine lady, she was.

Though it was before my time, The Avengers had gone into syndication and could be found on TV in the US when I was a kid.  There was a movie remake of it several years ago.
Goodbye, Mrs Peele.

"Mrs. Peele, we're needed!"

 The real First Avenger. :-(

in the  60's  when spy stuff  was king, she was one of  my Favs!

Winter has come...

And IMHO the best Bond girl ever... RIP Mrs Bond.

yep... between Avengers  and  her stunt as Mrs Bond.. she  set th bar for 'spy Ladies"..Damn shame she got  stuck with the 'worst' bond.

OHMSS is a good story but Lazenby was terrible in the role. Diana Rigg was fantastic though!!!

She was luminous.

But her name is RIGG, not Riggs.

she was?.. i was  younger when i watched Bond...Man from Uncle , T.H.E Cat... they had  'Honey west' on back then one of my friends  had her  action figure  that had a  'kick' and her  arm snapped  up  to point her  sidearm.


  Ms Rigg's characters then, were polished, sophisticated  and  'didn't need  a guy to save them"..its is  something i instilled  in my girls  and   am doing with my grand daughters, My wife liked that, she was a bit  quiet in school, but she grew  a little more confident   as we moved through life, until she passed.

 Sure there  were  the 'bombshells' but they were normally dainty airheads, needing to be saved... Mrs Peel and   'Mrs" Bond could handle themselves  with out   being contrived  or waving a flag about it.

 My games have  many  NPCs that  are women , and they run the gambit of    normal  women, the  hard core  warriors?.. and it  came from watching    some of the pioneers, make a statement for   women in adventure/Sci-Fi genres..books..TV  or Movies.

Yeah sorry, I'm a lousy typist my fingers do not always follow my brain.

She really was the true Queen of Westeros. RIP

A sad loss of another acting great and so many many plots.  I first saw her as Emma Peel and then through the years have enjoyed her different roles.  Sadly missed Diana Riggs.

I've always thought Diana Rigg was in a class by herself. Her and Patrick McNee had such incredible class. It was the reason I didn't much like the Avengers movie... while I like Uma Thurman, neither she nor Ralph Fiennes had that kind of class. It's like the director couldn't recognize class.

Hey, donsr! You know you're old when you can remember Honey West and T.H.E. Cat! Throw in Modesty Blaise for the trifecta.

Anyway, miss you, Diana.

  ::chuckles:: I was little , I wanted a  James Bond Action  figure  and  an Odd Job  figure cause he  'threw his hat"..

 we went to the store  on payday, and they didn't have  Jamebond or Odd job.. they had a Honey West... but no way my Dad was  buying a 'doll' for his kid...

 aboutwhat?  5 years later, I got im  first GI joe...My brother got me 'Captain Action"   because  you could get  masks and  stuff..he bout me  the SGT Fury ( the real nick fury) set, so i had  one of my comic  book heroes..

 wow? anazing  how somthign can set off a chain of memeories!
