Diana Rigg 2011 interview on THE AVENGERS, fame, fans and feminists

A re-edit of a previous posting which was proving popular until suddenly removed (after 4 years/175,000+ views) due a copyright claim.
So here it is again minus the offending brief clip from THE AVENGERS.
[Clips taken from the excellent hour-long BBC4 'MARK LAWSON TALKS TO...' Interview first broadcast 27/09/11.]

This is one of my favorite Diana Rigg interviews because she talks a lot about the Avengers.

[@davidhinkley]

She was The Avengers to me. Patrick's quite good but I only followed it when she was on.... enjoyed everything she was ever in. And her beauty and charm in her roles and in life remains unsurpassed.

What a lovely lady, gracious, humble and real.

[@simontaylor342]

She was just the best.
