Dame Diana Rigg passes at 82

Dame Diana Rigg, star of 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Avengers,' dead at 82

English actress Dame Diana Rigg, known for her work in “The Avengers,” “Game of Thrones” and as James Bond’s wife in “Oh Her Majesty’s Secret Service” has died at age 82.

Rigg’s agent Simon Beresford said she died Thursday morning at home with her family.

“It is with tremendous sadness that we announce that Dame Diana Rigg died peacefully early this morning. She was at home with her family who have asked for privacy at this difficult time. Dame Diana was an icon of theatre, film, and television,” Beresford told Fox News in a statement. “She was the recipient of BAFTA, Emmy, Tony and Evening Standard Awards for her work on stage and screen. Dame Diana was a much loved and admired member of her profession, a force of nature who loved her work and her fellow actors. She will be greatly missed.”

Had the biggest crush on her when I as a kid. Emma Peel... which is a homonym of the casting direction of a character with "M. appeal"... which was short for "man appeal."

Brother, they cast her correctly!


She was also great in Game of Thrones... and her daughter was great in "Detectorists."

Resquiat in pace.

Huge loss to the dramatic arts, and 82 isn't that old. I feel the need for champagne this evening, and several episodes of The Avengers from about 1966.

i thought my wife (then girl friend) bore a striking resemblance to Mrs. Peel.

RIP.

Another one who grew up in the 1960's watching John Steed and Emma Peel in "The Avengers". For me, Emma Peel was the perfect woman and Diana Rigg was a beautiful and talented lady.

Rest in Peace Dame Diana.
