Dame Diana Rigg on Newsnight 8/3/2019

Dame Diana Rigg talks about her career to reporter, Stephen Smith on Newsnight, BBC2 TV Friday 8th March 2019 - International Women's Day.

[@Neko.Yashi_74]

She died today. I loved her portrayal of Olenna Tyrell. R.I.P.

[@CCRoxtar]

I saw her as Countess Tracy, James Bond's love interest in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I've been watching Bond films in the wake of Sean Connery's death (although George Lazenby played Bond in that particular film).

[@dannygoodwin2221]

hi

[@bonnie3447]

No you didn't.

[@oddbod8655]

A fantastic actress and blessed to have seen her in my lifetime.

[@thenicklas615]

Dianna possesses a beauty unmatched by most gorgeous women of her time. She still is beautiful, I love her.

[@eyelidman09]

RIP Diana Rigg. You will not be forgotten.🥂

[@CasinoMan2005]

Diana Rigg was my first television love as a teen. I loved her ever since. RIP my dear.

[@stevethomas5849]

Me too as a 13 year old curtesy of a new tv channel , Channel 4 which first aired in 1982. Diana as Mrs Emma Peel 26 years old in 1965 but at the time of 1982 Diana would of been 43 same age my dad. Even in her last years still had that boundless spirit that grace her in younger days.

[@bubhub64]

At 5:39, Miss Rigg flashes that amazing smile that she's always had, which melted the hearts of millions of baby boomers like myself over the years.

[@alfa51301]

RIP DIANA RIGG.... EMMA PEEL FOREVER AND EVER

[@bobelaviador]

RIP Diana eternal beauty

[@RSTI191]

My first love. I was a 6 yr old boy. 2020 and She still makes head spin..

[@999carpet]

She was a true star, and gorgeous with it ... R.I.P lovely Diana. x

[@rogerbennett9641]

The combination of Circumstance and hard work provided the opportunity for Diana through the use of her talent, beauty and character to be something unique at the time, terribly British, terribly good and unforgettable. For me she is the most beautiful, humorous and natural actress and a seemingly warm and genuine person. The Avengers, Diana and Britain in the sixties I can't imagine anything better.

[@glamdolly30]

It is a measure of the great woman she was, that to the end she supported other women who speak out against sexual inequality and fight for their rights. Diana was not only a trailblazer in this regard, she retained her passion for female empowerment long after she had become comfortable, rich and famous. God bless you Dame Diana Rigg, a fine actress, woman and human being. XXX

The Legendary Queen of Thorns

[@caruthersm]

Such a great great actress, and so many amazing performances. I grew up watching her on The Avengers and thought her role in GOT was inspired. Rest in Peace Dame Diana.

[@quintoario4736]

Diana Rigg forever in my Heart

[@Mike_Hughes]

I will always love you Diana, in my heart forever, thank you, Michael x x x

[@free_gold4467]

Dear Diana, you will live forever in our imaginations and our hearts.

[@maxwellfan55]

Strong, indépendant woman, a role model. All the rest has been said, her greatness and supreme feminine elegance beyond doubt. Few if any women will ever exceed Diana Rigg.

[@koreailoveyou]

i loved her voice. it's feeling me quite cozy every time.

[@trinitytwo14992]

Dame Diana Rigg. Is the BEST

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Watch her & Dame Maggie play off each other in Evil Under the Sun, great fun! & they have a competitive Cole Porter duet - CAMEMBERT!!!

[@fredpickett6219]

What a good good Actress/and a Gracious Lady. R.I.P. Dame Rigg.

[@jamesgossweiler1349]

I STILL The Avengers. This woman was a British national treasure!

[@michellelyman7092]

omg she's still alive and well? wonderful, I always adored her in the Avengers, fantasized about being like her, she is wonderful and still lovely as ever

[@millardlim981]

Her final GoT appearance was only two years ago (2017).

[@ashleydavall]

Oh watch Game of Thrones, if only for her, she appears from Season 3 to Season 7 and steals every scene she is in. She also gets to work with two other brilliant younger British actresses who are in the majority of her scenes. Natalie Dormer and Lena Heady

[@xandergrogan2012]

Shes just died today 😭😭

[@johneldeisilfavan4642]

Omg she died 😭

[@glamdolly30]

@@johneldeisilfavan4642 Dame Diana Rigg died peacefully at home on 10th September 2020 aged 82, surrounded by her loving family. She was diagnosed with cancer in March, and spent the last 6 months of her life with those she loved most, reflecting on her remarkable life and career. This fantastic women created work that will live on and be enjoyed long after her death. She also had a much loved child, and was loved and respected in return by many people - many of whom she never met. A life well lived in every respect, and by the sounds of it a tranquil and beautiful death. God bless her, I am one of countless people around the world who is so very grateful that she shared her gifts with the world.

I was obsessed with her at 16. A bit of a shock in this interview to be reminded of how much time has passed for Emma Peel - and me.

[@ricdale7813]

Beautiful and Intelligent 55 years ago. Beautiful and Intelligent Today.

[@quintoario4736]

È vero! Brava e bella! Una bellezza delicata e fascinosa.

[@Vivita257]

What a beautiful trail blazer! I never missed one episode of The Avengers. The whole series was so unique.

[@truthseeker7548]

Yet it was sad that she sadi she was pay less then the camera man. Lile people back then are F* sexist!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Patrick Macnee credited her with rewriting their scripts, no wonder Steed & Mrs. Peel seemed so spontaneously happy with one another!

[@dorothylingwood9926]

Beautiful actress RIP so talented 😔

[@Kalinik.]

4:20 she looks more Margery than the actual Margery :O amazing the resemblance

[@aqua6613]

Absolutely adore and love this woman. So glad i am old enough to have grown up watching "mit Schirm Charm und Melone" Avengers on german tv...and the video for "don't get me wrong" was it Chrissy Hindes was a great homage to that show.

[@freddygarcia5491]

Mrs Theresa Bond Witness for the Prosecution (1982) RIP Diana

[@iseegoodandbad6758]

Her cute small nose, almond eyes and high cheekbones was aquired while she was fed on her mums milk until she was probaby 2 years old. I have noticed that older British women have these very sweet gentle and cute facial features and its because they were all breastfed as babies/toddlers. This is especially true for british women who came from rural isolated areas such ad rural Scotland, Wales and Cornwall where bottles and baby formula were an extreme luxury until the late 60s. They are soo attractive!! As bottlefeeding became common unfortunately peoples facial features have become elongated, pointy and harsh!!

[@Theshark15z]

Tracy Bond!!!

[@helloitsahmed]

Why isn't big late night shows inviting her?

[@tiberseptim8434]

Stars Galaxies she’s a tad older, she probably prefers not to travel around and go on late night shows. She’s at a point in her life where she can probably decide what she wants to do and what she doesn’t.

[@Macrogue65]

"...tuned in by mistake"? What the hell?

[@ProfessorTime]

It's hard to believe this is the same smokin' hot babe from the 1960's.

[@visionist7]

It's a sign of a life lived indulgently. And that can be no bad thing ;-)

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Guessing you aren't who you were half a century ago, either.

[@Fitchy-ke3wz]

The Queen-I hear you've taken an interest in a knighthood. Why shouldn't I? It's an interesting position. The Queen- Is it? No not particularly.

Wow!. I couldn't believe it was THAT bad. The leading lady in a hit series was making less than the cameraman. Effing out of this world unfairness 😢.
