RIP

 

[Damian]

Very sad to hear. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was my favorite Bond film.

Farewell to a grand dame of stage and screen. She won a Tony, a BAFTA, an Emmy and was appointed, by the Queen, as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

She exuded confidence in everything she did.

Sad news. - I was a big fan of hers watching the British 'Avengers' series when I was a kid.
RIP and condolences to her family, friends, and other fans.

R.I.P. Diana
As a young boy, I loved her as Emma Peel on The Avengers. My first on screen crush.

The original Catsuit- she made the '60s stylish all by herself.

Most adorable creature in human history!

Sad news. She was iconic as Mrs Peel and wonderfully entertaining as Olenna.

 

[StarCruiser]

She and Patrick are out chasing the baddies now...

Ms. Peel, we're needed.

What utterly crappy news to wake up to.

I can't find any words that do her justice.

Requiescat in pace.

And yet again, fuck cancer.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Very sad to hear. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was my favorite Bond film.

Mine too.

Rest in peace.

My thoughts go out to her daughter Rachael Stirling, son-in-law Guy Garvey (frontman of elbow), and grandson Jack. Sometime in the last six months Guy said that Diana Rigg was reading Jack bedtime stories via Facetime during the COVID quarantine, and I find that incredibly charming. I've thought several times today of the song Guy wrote for Jack about his own recently deceased father and how it would, quite easily, work in a gender-flipped way for Jack from his mother about his grandmother.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

Amazing actress, MANY parts, and she had a part in the new version of "All Creatures Great and Small" that's just started on TV here in the UK.

RIP, Dame Diana. Yet another of our childhood before has left us. Condolences to her family and friends.

RIP.

I was so sorry to hear this, but I’m happy she was able to remain active so long and enjoy such success and appreciation. What an icon.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Ouch, my heart. She was one of the all-time great adventure heroes and trendsetters. Sometimes when a celebrity dies, I feel like I lost a friend, because they've been with me almost as long as I can remember. I started watching The Avengers on Channel 56 in the late 60s, around third grade, and loved it. It was so surreal, and Mrs Peel and Steed were so cool. There's been nothing like them, before or since.

RIP, Diana Rigg. You're still needed.

Emma Peel, we need you. One of my favorite roles, though, was her staring role in the Mrs Bradley Mysteries. A short lived murder mystery series set in the 1920s. Her acerbic asides to the audience are hilarious. Well worth tracking down.

 

[Forbin]

This one hurts.
Deeply, deeply, saddened.

 

[Santaman]

Really and utterly sad to know she passed away, she was a very special woman, she had class, style and a great sense of humour.
