She is actually a very good actress. She played Lady Dedlock in a BBC rendition of Dickens’ Bleak House extremely well.

“Have you ever taken an antidepressant?”

“Yes, I had the baby blues very, very badly. Here I was with a beautiful, healthy baby and a husband who adored me, and I was in a terrible pit of depression. The only effect the antidepressant had was I was crying faster than I used to, so I stopped and eventually came out of it. I do, on reflection, see that my body was mourning - I had nurtured this other being which had left my body - and my mind was reflecting that.”

Well, that’s as good an explanation as any I’ve heard. Tom Cruise would approve.

What are the regnant medical theories?

The curious part about it is I can go for hours without; getting on a plane and not smoking for 15 hours simply doesn't worry me at all.

This was the case for me as well. It was integral in helping me to give up the damned things entirely. The withdrawal wasn't even enough to wake me up in the night.

I'm all for adults making their own decisions about habits. But I want to live as long as possible, and cigarettes aren't in that formula for me any more.

Born in 1938.

But my, she was HOT in the 1960s.

I was madly in love with her when I was a teenager in the ‘60s.

Wiki says she’s seventy now. If she was sixty that would have made her sixteen years old when she came on board the series in 1965.

I think she might fudging a few years on being 60. That means she would have been 16 when she first appeared as Emma Peel in October 1965.

I'm six years younger than Ms. Rigg, but she seemed a lot older when the show aired.

She was born July 20, 1938. She’s going on 71.

She was a star on The Avengers back in 1966. If she was sixty, she only would have been 17. Not.

She is a very beautiful woman and a terrific actress.

See “Pictures of Lilly” by the Who. As long as she's happy with her life, good for her. 13 years old in 1965, I need say no more. Still a fan.
