Who is it? Diana Rigg Websites Fan Site Why do nerds love her? Emma Peel, Bond Girl | |
One of the earliest female action stars. When Diana Rigg joined The Avengers as Emma Peel she set a new standard for strong women. Mrs. Peel was a widower, but an accomplished, as well as published, scientist in her own right. She was skilled with firearms and Judo. She was still feminine, a contrast to the very tough Cathy Gale (played by the very feminine, but still tough Honor Blackman) from previous years. Diana Rigg left The Avengers to costar in the less-than-well-received Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service as Tracy, who eventually marries Bond, and is then killed. Rigg has excelled in numerous areas. She has done a great deal of television, film, and stage work, appearing most recently in the 2006 film The Painted Veil. |

I'm a big fan of hers. I loved her in the Avengers, OHMSS, etc.
I met Diana Rigg once, in a pub. She's really tall. Or I'm really short. She was sweet, full of great stories, and she liked a drink.
