Diana Rigg receives heartbreaking tribute from James Bond 'husband' George Lazenby.

[L.A.Justice]

"I was sorry to have lost my wife in the film at the end. The death of Contessa Teresa di Vincenzo Draco created a memorable cinema moment over 50 years ago."

"As my new bride, Tracy Bond, I wept for her loss. Now, upon hearing of Dame Diana's death, I weep again."

____________________________

Mr. Lazenby also denied that he and she had a terrible relationship on the movie set...He blamed the media for creating that perception...

She was a great "Bond girl"... I do like the film ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE...

In many ways, one of the best Bond films.

Diana Rigg will be missed.

Don't forget, The Avengers", with Patrick MacNee.

Pretty Lady

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I don't know any guy who watched the Avengers who didn't have a serious crush on her. Rest in Peace.

In the film wasn’t she offed inadvertently by Telly Savalas firing at wooden man Lazenby?

[usual suspect]

Didn’t she promote “Jaguar” cologne? I loved her character ib Game of thrones.

In the first third of the movie Bond girls seem to have had 90+% fatality.

(or did I get that wrong, can’t remember/haven’t seen them all)
What a recipe for a series.

Now that is sick humor! ---

Down near the end of the article is this: "Diana could not be reached for comment at the time by the publication."

There is something very mesmerizing about the ice racing scene.

[Citizen Soldier]

My father had a crush on her, we watched Mrs. Peel and the Avengers.

In Thunderball, one of the “girls” gets shot (by a bullet aimed at him) while they’re on the dance floor.

Bond (Connery) dances her over to a seat, sits her down, and says to the couple at the table, “Don’t mind my friend here. She’s just dead.”

[A strike]

Seems somehow that happened a lot.

Pretty smoking hot in the Avenger days...

[Gay State Conservative]

Gee...I guess this means that no other man (person) in the history of humankind ever had a heartbreaking tribute to a loved one.

I guess they didn't attend my 18 year old niece's funeral...or my Mom's...or my Dad's.

She was in showbiz.Big deal.Was she talented? Perhaps...I'm not that familiar with her work.But even if she was that doesn't make her death any more important than the many fine people whose funerals I've attended.

(End anti showbiz rant)

I don't know any guy who watched the Avengers who didn't have a serious crush on her.

I was in high school in those days, and absolutely had a crush on her.

[xp38]

I was too young to have a crush on her but at the time the Avengers was an odd weird show compared to more conventional tv dramas from my perspective. There were some other shows like that as well that one could appreciate later as one grew up and was no longer a child.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I had a crush on Diana Rigg and on her Lotus Elan.

[ontap]

I hate getting old...all those beautiful women I adored and admired are now old and dying!!!!!!

[BigEdLB]

Yup. I was a teenager at the time.
