In 1962 my parents got our first black & white TV. I was 4 and Diana was playing Emma Peel I never missed an episode. I wanted to be like her all my life, she was my idol.
I loved her as a young teen as Emma Peel. I even sewed my own Emma Peeler jumpsuit to wear and had an Avengers scrapbook. I was always aware of what a great actress she was through the years in film, theater and on TV.
Diana Riggs was the best as Emma Peele on The Avengers! She was my favorite in that role! So beautiful and charismatic! Haven't seen her in some of the other roles you mentioned but will look for some of them. Thank you for the insight!
Diana Rigg was my hero growing up in the 60’ in the Advengers I wanted to be just like her. I was so sad when they discontinued the series. Thank you for posting this ❤️🌹
My favorite role that she had was Mrs. Emma Peel. I was in my early teens and looked up to her. Lol I even wanted to be just like her. RIP Diana Rigg. A true icon.
@@FactsVerse I loved her in game of thrones. How she was so smart and led her granddaughter. I really like that at an old age, she still wanted to depict that strong woman character, and that she did! Sad to think how fast life goes. But how outstanding she was at all stages
Ever since I saw her the first time on the Avengers she has been my favorite actress. No one has come along to replace her. And I am sure they never will.
My favorite DR role was definitely Emma Peel. As a young girl I was obsessed. I cried when she left the show. As a teen I saw her in both Abelarde & Heloise and The Misanthrope on Broadway. (Gotta love being a NYer!) When she was in The Misanthrope, still a devoted fan, I sent her my picture in a fan letter. Not satisfied with the typical stock fan mail response, I embroidered her name on a T-shirt and hand delivered it to her. Then I somehow managed to convince the backstage manager to let me deliver it directly to her. The first thing she said to me was, "I got your picture." I was so nervous and thrilled, I almost passed out! I really didn't need to take the subway home. I was floating on cloud 9! What a wonderful thing to say and do for a fan. I am 67 years old and I still have her autograph that I got after Abelarde & Heloise close at hand in my desk drawer. Wonderful actress. Wonderful woman.
Although it was my sister that was a big fan of The Avengers, I liked Diana! I later saw her narrating and hosting a program in the 80s and admired how quietly elegant she was!
Always loved Diana Rigg. Not well know that her name in Avengers..."Emma Peel" is a play on her intent in the series. Diana was gorgeous beyond words...and that was one of her role. She was there to appeal to the men in the audience. Male Appeal..."M" appeal....Emma Peel
I was a kid in '60 when l saw first time lovely Emma Peel! Now l am over 60 years and l am still love her! Rest in peace my lovely Diana! Lily from România
There was one small but telling aspect of the Emma Peel years in the Avengers. Initially she wore the catsuit that her predecessor Honor Blackman wore but wanted to strike out into something else. Hence the more athletic purple, red and blue suits she wore that made the fight scenes especially sleek and sporty. My favourite episode was Murdersville - about a town that allowed anyone to murder a rival so long as the town was bribed. She was brilliant in it - especially when she was being tortured by being dunked into a pool of water.
I had no idea about her past but now I do. After watching her role in the games of throne it left me with her as the longest-lasting memory of an actress in the series because her acting was so good! RIp
Missed movies of note : The Assassination Bureau , Theatre of Blood , The Hospital, with George C. Scott , & Evil Under The Sun. Worked with Vincent Price & replaced him on the PBS , Mystery Anthology . Extensive work in all realms of entertainment . Also an author .
Right! I saw all and loved her in Mother Love and she redid Rebecca. She was a hoot in Mrs. Bradley’s Mystery’s. I think I saw the majority of what she did.
Diana Rigg was such a lovely, wonderful actress. She was also quite interesting to hear during her interviews, such an intelligent person. She performed really well in many of her acting roles, but I most remember her for Agent Emma Peel. With Patrick Macnee, her wonderful co-star in the Avengers, they have both faded into legend. Rest in peace, Diana and Patrick! ❤
When I hear a Millennial, mention THE AVENGERS, I immediately think of John Steed ,and Emma Peel. They didn't need CGI, they had Witt,and humor to solve crimes.
She was more than Emma Peel, but that’s my first memory of her….. Then she was a Bond girl? No! Her character married Bond (watch the opening scene in one of Roger Moore’s films, he’s bringing flowers to someone’s grave) but then dies on the way to their honeymoon….. She was a true Shakespearean actress and an English Dame…. All in all she was quite a woman. Farewell Dame Diana
This actress was one of my favorite role models for being a strong, capable woman. Her appearances as Emma Steele on The Avengers was the inspiration for my sci-fi female warrior "Shema".
The sterling combination of intelligence, wit, assertive independence, style and arresting beauty puts her in the top category of female pulchritude: goddess. It is also very lonely at the top. Rest In Peace Dame Diana Rigg.
Diana Riggs as Bondgirl was perfect " Nobody do it better ". I loved her also in The Avengers. She pumped Adrenalina and Fashion and most of all Respect for Female Talent in the movies and real life from the beginning . In this days i have seen the last chapter in the 007 Segret Agent with Daniel Craig and I was been most impressed by the same similarity with the actress Ana De Armas. Few minutes in the movie scenes but in all that scenes She takes my looking and let me say She has somethin about Diana...only something that I don't know to express but She has it.
Seeing Diana Rigg in The Avengers, when I was a little kid, in very large measure created and defined my idea of what a woman “is”. Made quite an impression on my formative years.
I wish I could've seen her stage performances, especially MacBeth with Anthony Hopkins and her award-winning role in Medea. I adored her in The Avengers since she created the perfect woman to me--even though I was probably ten years old! Smart, sexy, confident, independent...perfection.
Hello again Facts Verse 👋 My dad (RIP) was hooked on Diana Rigg and would always watch The Avengers. Thank you for another great video, and I hope you and your subscribers have a wonderful day/evening. 👍
She has to be one of those rare women who commands respect and adoration. Truly a counterpart of Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister). Although as amazing as she was young.
As a young boy in the 60's I was smitten by Emma Peel on The Avenger's. I loved her anytime I saw her on screen. What a great actress and thank you so much for this video.
It is interesting to note that Diana Rigg , has been snubbed a lot by women, which does not jive with the Women's Liberation movement at all. Her death was minimally covered in the US . On Turner classic Bio of her, she has no picture & is missing several movie roles of importance. I have brought this to Turners complaint Dept to see if it can be rectified . Diana Rigg was quite outspoken in her lifetime & her opinions are noteworthy. Many seem to have a grudge against her comments. Those interviews can be viewed on youtube. Decide for yourself .
She was not a women’s libber, she already was what they wished. She was outspoken for women rights as an equal to men - especially equal pay. She was definitely ahead of her time and admitted when asked what character she had played was most like her; she replied “Um, Emma Peel was most like me, of course she did all this fighting - but I’m not really that militant.” I remember she was on the David Frost talk show at that time and it was the early 70s..I was a teenager. I had already started following her career since The Avengers and kept an old scrapbook of things I’d find of her in newspapers and magazines back then, my most favorite actress till the end. It was like I lost a close friend, sort of a “mentor” since I did agree with most her thoughts and independence as I matured, accepting myself for being gay. I’ve read of others (men & women) who were influenced by her words and strength. I will always regret I never saw her in a play and met her. WD
@@WndD_74 I have significant details of the creation & story characters of THE AVENGERS tv show. Diana Rigg did want to get married & have children . She did have a daughter Rachel & two unsuccesful marriages & still managed a prominent career .
I thought Diana Rigg was great in many roles. I first saw her in The Avengers. I will Never forget her in the role of Emma Peel. She was so Very Beautiful. RIP Diana. Sincerely, Tom
Missed that she was raised in India while her father worked there, giving her a special foreign mysterious , capacity & language proficiency . A pack a day is twenty, that is not by any means a heavy smoker. Four packs a day, 80 cigarettes is common for a heavy smoker. Rigg modeled for a bit also & smoking was encouraged. You must never have seen a Film Noir , femme fatale movie from the 1940 & 1950. Rigg was special but hardly a break from downtrodden Women's roles, as you seem to stress. Rigg on the Avengers plays a secret agent & she is modeled after many many successful real , War time agents of the Special Operations Executive , SOE branch. Also American OSS agents doing the same work. This was hardly Women's liberation on tv. It was done in real life first ! She emulated their work with witt, & a bit of silly reflection on spoofing it all. She represented the new Britain along side & respected by the establishment upper class Britain , as represented by John Steed, the perfect Englishmen.
To me her performance as Tracy Di Vicenzo was her best, I've watched movie several times, definitely one of the best Bond movies. fell in love with her when I was about 10 years old.
20 cigarettes a day, one pack was not a heavy smoker. In fact Patrick, her co-star smoked 80 a day, along with a bottle of Scotch daily. He stopped and made it to 93 . She made it to 82 . She was never a heavy drinker ! How long are you supposed to live anyway ? Look up the average age of people male & female, I would say they both did quite well. Honor Blackman made it to 94. Average life expectancy in 2022, is 76.1 years for men and 81.1 years for women. Diana was slightly above average.
Famous all over the world. I'm Peruvian, and I loved Diana hen I was young in Peru. My favourite is Emma Peel, the most beautiful and talented actress I have enjoyed watching for years.
I so loved Dame Diana, I loved everything about her especially her outfits on The Avenger’s. Before I came out of the closet I so wanted to be Dame Diana.
In This House of Brede. This movie of Ms. Riggs' is always over looked. Dressed in a nuns habit ,for the majority of the movie, everything depends on the acting, and only the acting! There are no guns, no makeup, no fancy clothes, just the words and how they are delivered! Brilliant!!
Although I loved Diana Rigg in the Avengers my favorite Rigg performance in the the movie “A Liitle Night Music” which she costar with Elizabeth Taylor.
You forgot to note that she was in LAST NIGHT IN SOHO. Also, he Emmapeeler clothing usually refers to the full color episodes. Though they were going to change clothing styles anyhow when the show went from being filmed in black and white to full color, she was not happy with all those PVC outfits, which looked good, but they were a nightmare to wear. A now hard-to-find collection of Emmapeelers one could buy and wear in 1967 sold out quickly and are a prized collectible from megafauna of THE AVENGERS like myself. Great that al her episode had their 35mm film negatives recovered a few decades ago, have been the basis of all series releases since VHS and have been issued in Blu-ray disc sets (just avoids the compressed U.S. Lionsgate color Ring/Peel set; it is a disaster).
The Avengers was my favourite TV program during the 60s and 70s . I dont think I missed any of them , I thought Mrs Emma Peel was the best thing since sliced bread .She lived not far from me when I was living in Buckinghamshire.

Yes, there is only one Emma Peele. Diana Rigg
She also appeared in a Doctor Who episode with Matt Smith

Thanks for watching!
Mrs.Peal is my very favorate roll Diana Rigg played on "The Avengers". I liked watching her beat the bad guys right on T.V.
So strange we lost Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman, and Bond himself, Sean Connery all in the same year. Such great talent taken from us. RIP.
I had no idea about her past but now I do. After watching her role in the games of throne it left me with her as the longest-lasting memory of an actress in the series because her acting was so good! RIp

No mention of her childhood in India?

Emma Peel, then Tracy.
I loved the avengers I also liked her as tracy bond . In on her majesties secret service
The more I see of her performances, the more I appreciate.

She was a GREAT actress and role model for girls in the 1960's!
Some men too.
Sorry to hear about her death. She was so beautiful and I loved her when I was a kid. 🌹🥰🇦🇺

She was and is one of my favorites. I even have one of her Pictures on my Instagram.
20 cigarettes a day, one pack was not a heavy smoker. In fact Patrick, her co-star smoked 80 a day, along with a bottle of Scotch daily. He stopped and made it to 93 . She made it to 82 . She was never a heavy drinker ! How long are you supposed to live anyway ? Look up the average age of people male & female, I would say they both did quite well. Honor Blackman made it to 94.

She was a gifted actress and was Loved by many people

Emma Peel. I was a teenager then, and she swept me off my feet.
Love her i wach all the serious of a avanger her and Steve they wore good couple working together ❤️😊⭐️
Interesting, loved her, may she rest in peace, 🙏, great video thanks 🖤
You would never think she was a chain smoker she was absolutely stunning may she RIP god bless her
from super spy to the queen of thorns. A true actress of intrigue.
It would have to when she was Emma Peele from the Avengers since that was the show that I grew up watching.
Famous all over the world. I'm Peruvian, and I loved Diana hen I was young in Peru. My favourite is Emma Peel, the most beautiful and talented actress I have enjoyed watching for years.
R.I.P. Dame Enid Diana Elizabeth Rigg! She left a legacy no one else can replicate -
Thumbs up from the Dooleys of Michigan Enjoyed The Video
I so loved Dame Diana, I loved everything about her especially her outfits on The Avenger’s. Before I came out of the closet I so wanted to be Dame Diana.
See my note way above, WD
In This House of Brede. This movie of Ms. Riggs' is always over looked. Dressed in a nuns habit ,for the majority of the movie, everything depends on the acting, and only the acting! There are no guns, no makeup, no fancy clothes, just the words and how they are delivered! Brilliant!!
Yes, another believeable role!
Favorite hands down: The Avengers and GOT. In the former she broke young women stereotypes and in the latter she broke older women stereotypes!!😊
She was great as a Bond girl, she’s my favourite, due to her coming across as intelligent and strong she was a truely a match for bond.
She also did a role in Dr Who, recently-ish as well as in The Saint opposite Ian Ogilvie, back in the day, I believe
Although I loved Diana Rigg in the Avengers my favorite Rigg performance in the the movie “A Liitle Night Music” which she costar with Elizabeth Taylor.
You forgot to note that she was in LAST NIGHT IN SOHO. Also, he Emmapeeler clothing usually refers to the full color episodes. Though they were going to change clothing styles anyhow when the show went from being filmed in black and white to full color, she was not happy with all those PVC outfits, which looked good, but they were a nightmare to wear.

Wow I thought I was looking at Julie Andrews on the Muppets for a second or two - she has the same exact nose
