RIP Diana, such humility after such a fabulously successful career is very educational. Nice to see the charming side of Stephen when he’s smiling and talking without the “hard”.
Some actors are loved by the camera. She was one such. Her portrayals are always intelligent and interesting. You watch her because you literally can’t take your eyes off of her. Even now. She had the it factor.
A fabulously iconic, wonderful, beautiful, strong lady who held her own with every other star who appeared opposite her on stage or screen. What a delightful dish! She is forever one of a kind... RIP Dame Diana, light up the heavens...
@timeinthebottle1127 … How charming and cool! I’m sure that wasn’t your sole reason, but isn’t it great how completely unrelated images, factors, and influences lead us to recognize a spark in those who become our best friends, girlfriends, spouse, etc? That’s real life.
The Avengers ........ Need i say anymore ............ Wonderful British television at it`s best ....... alas now both leading actors have departed .......... never to be forgotten.
Stephen Sackur actually tried to be charming and pleasant. He really must like her, probably fun memories from his teenage years. Nice interview and interesting lady. Her daughter is a wonderful actress too, played Milly in Bletchley circle and Winston’s daughter in Churchill’s secret. Too bad Diana Riggs passed away recently, this interview was from 2016. One less with personality, skill and star power.
What a great woman Dame Diana Rigg is. So accomplished and yet so unassuming. In her presence, Stephen Sackur’s usual “nasty” style was nowhere to be seen. This episode should be more appropriately named SOFTtalk.
Oh I do remember The Avengers, and I'm actually watching season 2 right now before Emma Peel appeared. I love this series and she was absolutely fabulous in it.
Genius woman of the stage, of Art, and fulsome with charisma. She conquered the stage at the biggest level and left indelible marks in popular culture as Emma Peale and Olenna Tyrell. She was very kind to George Lazenby, whose other great accomplishment was marrying (and divorcing) strict heterosexual female tennis player Pam Shriver. 😄 Dame Diana is a gem.
I think by saying she was "lucky", she is selling herself far too short. She obviously received opportunities because she was hugely talented, intelligent, and probably in some cases, because she had "the look" they were looking for. Nothing wrong with that -- after all, there's no denying she was beautiful when she was young. However, she had a huge list of other fine qualities to go with it, even in her later years.
So sad to see Diana use the word "actress" to describe herself, while the interviewer ties himself in knots with PC notions that "actress" is a bad word, saying things like "many actors - female actors - say..." . There is a word in English for "female actors" - use it! Political correctness (and it's not correctness in this case, it is error) will be the death of us!
She was just an actor. Any intelligent individual who has lived life understands the human condition. These peoples just pretend it's some sublime job they do. Its just pretending for a lot of Money.

Watching this interview was an utter privilege. Thank you for your gift
Wow! what a pleasure to listen to this legend 👏
One classy lady. Sadly gone.
RIP Diana, such humility after such a fabulously successful career is very educational.
Nice to see the charming side of Stephen when he’s smiling and talking without the “hard”.
A lovely beautiful lady, so sad to see her demise at the end, but every credit to her, she stood for dignity …..
Will be greatly missed ,vale Dianna Rigg
Diana was certainly a fantastic actress but also a well of knowledge. I could listen to her for hours and hours.

Dame Diana's GLORIOUS voice!!

As a 10 year old, Dianna was my first crush.
Great wisdom from a great woman ❤

likely Stephen is at my age. I think most of our generation was in love with Emma Peel.

Let’s not forget her appearances in the iconic comedy, “The Detectorists” not long before she sadly died.

What a pleasure ♥️
RIP from Italy.
It was Ian Hendry with Patrick MacNee in the original The Avengers.
The smile is still Emma Peel, but Emma, I mean Diana, as a blonde just doesn't look right! RIP, beautiful lady! Thanks for rears of being the best!
Such class and grace nowadays TikTok stars are high on drugs and speak way bad English
She played Mrs. Danvers in the 1997 Rebecca. Absolute best Mrs. Danvers ever.
so sharp
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔Love jou
God i am shocked she died on 10 sep, the video is released on 12 sep, Om Shanthi.
RIP😭🙏

Discovering your "true worth" via the stage, not film or TV which will spit you out through the maw.
