GOT: Having read all the books and, despite that addiction, eventually hating the author as a smug sadistic bastard (later found he’s a leftwing Fascist behind the exclusion of Conservative authors from the Hugo Awards). Never watched the series. Basically a fantasy horror version of the Wars of the Roses.

Just did a search on Rachel Stirling, and wow, she really does look like her mom.

I started reading the GOT series, but during the 2nd (or 3rd?) book, I got bored and couldn’t finish it.

Started reading something else and somehow never got back to GOT.

Oh I agree. I did like her in The Detectorists though. Sexy voice!

And, although she lived well and didn’t apologize for it, she wasn’t snooty and pretentious.

There is a great line in The Musial of Musicals: The Musical: "The leading lady enters. The audience applauds...even though she hasn't done anything yet."

I'll admit it. Like a lot of guys, I had a major crush on her. (Or was it on Emma Peel?)

I think Barbara Feldon (Agent 99) was in there somewhere.

Maybe the quickest bad review I ever saw was Gene Shalit's review of Superfly: "Superfly. (Whacks the table.) I'm Gene Shalit."

There is one picture of Rachel Stirling in black where she not only looks like her mother, she looks somewhat like Emma Peel.

Also starred with Vincent Price in Theater of Blood - one of my favorite movies as a kid.

RIP Diana.

This thread got me all nostalgic. Where did you fund the series to watch it? I’ve been looking this evening but no luck yet
