    RIP Dianna Rigg

    I loved her on "The Avengers!" She was just fantastic as Emma Peel! I also liked her on "Game of Thrones." She was always a very under-utilized actress. She was 82-years-old.

    My first crush. I just loved her. She was just so confident in the Avengers and was the best Bond girl ever. I’m glad she got to play such a great part in Game of Thrones toward the end of her career.

      I think she may have made several of us question the belief that girls have cooties.

      She was sooo good in GOT. I agree, it was nice she got to show off her acting chops in a high profile show one last time.

          I also really enjoyed her performance in Theater of Blood with Vincent Price.

          RIP.

                I was madly in love with her way back in the day...one of the true beauties...and what an iconic role in The Avengers.

                She came back with a vengeance and turned up another great performance in Game of Thrones decades later.

                Yes, in she was great in everything...although like great_chandel said, she was greatly underutilized, she should’ve had a greater A-list movie career. I believe Her On Majesty’s Secret Service was her biggest movie.

                What a great lady...

                  This one is very sad for me. I can think of so many things she took part in that I like--Game of Thrones, one of the best Bond Girls, Great Muppet Caper, Doctor Who, a fabulous Regan opposite Olivier's Lear, and one of my favorite horror films, Theatre of Blood--but I'll always remember her first and foremost as Emma Peel, for me the ultimate Avengers partner to John Steed. Mrs. Peel, you're missed.
