Diana Rigg, best known for playing Emma Peel in The Avengers, but a fine actress as attested by her other films. I never had the pleasure of seeing her in the theater but I always enjoyed her movies. As a young man in the '60s, I had a crush on her as Mrs. Peel.
My wife was tolerant of my crush on
Mrs. Peel. Forty and fifty years later when I saw Diana Rigg in contemporary performances on Public Television, she was still one of the most attractive women it has ever been my pleasure to watch perform. She always struck me as someone I would have genuinely enjoyed knowing.
