I remember watching The Avengers as a kid, one of my favorite shows. Bond fans will remember her as Tracy di Vicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the only woman to have married James Bond. Game of Throne fans will remember her role as Lady Tyrell who had some of the best lines in the series. A sexy and elegant lady, a wonderful actress... the stars in heaven await.

Flirting with Inspector Morse, and looking good with short hair.

RIP

Supposedly somewhat ironically her and George Lazenby, in his only portrayal of Bond, actually got along terribly (to the point some insist one, can't remember her or him, ate a clove of raw garlic before a love scene) even though their characters end up married - think they patched it up later when he'd retired from acting and she had moved back towards television work. Great actress though - will be missed.

That is a great side note, especially the garlic bit. I'm surprised they didn't get along as I have always heard that Dianna Riggs was well liked. Glad they patched it up after Lazenby, my least favorite Bond, retired.

From Wikipedia:

Allegedly, there also were personality conflicts with Rigg, who was already an established star. However, according to director Hunt, these rumours are untrue and there were no such difficulties—or else they were minor—and may have started with Rigg joking to Lazenby before filming a love scene, ‘Hey George, I'm having garlic for lunch. I hope you are!’”

I saw her on the stage as Medea, as whom she kills her two sons to spite her husband. Such was the effect of the performance that no-one said a word as the audience went out. Only other time I've know that happen was One flew over the cuckoo's nest when it first came out.

Now where did I put my Avengers box sets?

She was a great actress. She killed in GOT. Shallowly, most of us are drooling over her Avengers years.

Here’s the thing - if someone wants to get a definition of what a classy lady is, she was the archetype. There was nothing ever vulgar, tawdry or overstated in her presentation. She was beautiful, smart, and often gave just a hint of turned up mouth to let everyone know there was still some fun to be had. The mold has been broken.

Oh, please. Emma, without question and probably in short order.
