I loved The Avengers! That and The Rat Patrol were my favorite TV shows.
She was smoking hot in the 60s and 70s, with a brain and wit to match. True original. Riveting in the Bond film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” in which she became she only Bond wife (briefly).
I was dismissive of Game of Thrones when it first came out, but after watching one or two episodes, I latched on to it because of the interesting plot twists, and especially the witty and sarcastic dialogue.
Rigg’s character, Olena Tyrell, was among the best in that regard.
RIP, Mrs. Peel.
She was really something! Beautiful inside and out. Talented and hard-working. RIP, Ms. Rigg. You will be missed.
She generated fantasies in many a teenage boy who saw her wearing the leather jump suit in the Avengers.
My wife is English and will be heartbroken to hear this. Our daughter is named Emma, not exclusively, but certainly in part after Ms. Riggs' character.
Leather ‘Cat Suit’, not jump suit, but otherwise yeah spot on!
Saw the show as a young boy with my dad, and much later as a not-so-young boy with my kids. I missed a lot the first time!
RIP Miss Emma Peel.
RIP Mrs. Peel
Um, yup.
One of the prettiest actresses in history and one of the most talented. She was one of a kind.
Nice ad.
No thanks.
My pre teen self wanted to be Emma Peel.
Gee, not long after Honor Blackman. Time marches on...
She had the skill of being incredibly sexy while still being subtle about it. Today’s actresses could learn from that.
RIP, Mrs. Peel.
