Goodbye, Mrs. Peel… (Diana Rigg, July 20, 1938 – September 10, 2020)

Diana Rigg as “Emma Peel” in the British TV show, “The Avengers”

Ah well. I guess it had to happen sometime. But now, the other half of the Avengers, Diana Rigg, is gone. She was a class act and I will forever remember her as the stunning and brainy “woman of action” alongside Patree Macnee in the 1960’s TV show, the Avengers. Their chemistry was legendary. In fact, I would rank their partnership in the all-time top ten on televsion!

If you have never watched this iconic 1960’s secret agent/drama/comedy series, get ahold of a DVD set somehow and watch it! All three seasons of the Avengers with Rigg and Macnee are great, but if you have to pick one, go with the color 1967 season. You won’t regret it.

Thank you, Ms. Rigg. You were, and are, amazing!
