She was probably my first adult crush after Annette.

The House that Jack Built was my favorite episode.
That was outre.

She starred along side of who could have been one of the best James Bond ever, George Lazenby. Unfortunately his hippie agent convinced him to step down from the role after being offered a seven film contract. Lazenby’s fight scenes were brutal.

In
The Game of Thrones she played Lady Olenna Tyrell, head of one of the royal families of the kingdoms of that fictional land. She is the only character who was, in fact, knighted as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
She nailed that role!

Nothing wrong with Genesis or Mrs. Peel. Two of my favorites, I was into Cream and Foghat also. Clapton has always amazed me.

Its funny, as a kid in the US, my two favorite TV shows were The Avengers and The Prisoner. And when my friends were into Cream and Foghat, I was into Genesis. Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?

Diana Rigg/Emma Peal was one of the most astonishingly attractive women/characters of all time. Her distinctive voice was also part of the package.

Yeah. I didn’t fully appreciate Clapton until I read his book and gave him another listen.
I was mostly into horn bands (Chicago, BS&T, Cold Blood, (T of P), and called Genesis “rock meets classical”. I was a big classical music and big ban fan (hence the horn band love).
I just realized I’m hijacking the thread.
To the subject at hand, I never understood why she didn’t become huge. Must have been some personal issues like Grace Kelly.

I think she wanted to branch out a bit after The Avengers, she actually had a very long career, and avoided getting type cast.

Sadly, everybody gets old and dies. I saw all of my parents’ icons bite the dust and now it’s happening to all of mine. It’s the circle of life. :)
I see this life as a sort of reality video game. Except you only get one life. You do your best with what you are given, and then it’s game over, and others take over to build on or fix (or undo) what you did.
She was sure cute, though, and great personality, at least in her roles.
